About this experience

Embark on an adventure along the Jurassic Coast, a marvel of Earth's history, showcasing the evolution of life and natural processes that sculpt our planet. This landscape, rich in diversity and beauty, stands out for its significant geology, earning it World Heritage Site status in 2001.

Your driver takes you through the unique geology of the coastline, where you can delve into the environmental shifts spanning millions of years. Witness the fossils of ancient, extinct creatures revealing themselves from the cliffs, offering a new perspective on our world. The formation of the coast, through rock falls, landslides, and storm-battered beaches, provides insights into its creation.

This 95-mile journey across Dorset and East Devon introduces you to a landscape filled with varied rocks, setting the stage for diverse and memorable experiences. From relaxing summer days by the beach and family barbecues to invigorating walks during the blustery winter, every moment becomes unforgettable.

The Jurassic Coast tantalizes the senses, weaving stories that engage the mind, body, and soul, inspiring a deep connection and the desire to explore its wonders repeatedly.

Discover the historic Durdle Door, a majestic natural limestone arch that stands as a testament to the coast's beauty. Nearby, the Lulworth Cove Visitor Centre offers deeper insights into Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, highlighting their significance.

A walk along the South West Coast Path at Durdle Door presents breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coast. Your guide suggests carrying an Ordnance Survey map for a rewarding day of exploration.

The story of the coast is also a tale of geological forces at play. About 25 million years ago, the collision of the African and European tectonic plates formed the Alps. This event influenced the rocks in south Dorset and Purbeck, adding to the coast's geological tapestry.

Lyme Regis beckons as your next stop, a picturesque seaside resort on the world-renowned Jurassic Coast. Ideal for family vacations, active breaks, or romantic escapes, Lyme Regis is famed for its fossil-rich shores and ties to Mary Anning, a pioneering palaeontologist. This town, enveloped in natural beauty and rich history dating back to the 8th century, marks the concluding point of your tour, guiding you back to the hotel with memories of a land sculpted through time.
