THE JURASSIC COAST

1 WALK THE DINOSAUR

xplore 95 miles of stunning coastline from Exmouth in east Devon to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in Dorset. The ground beneath your feet reveals 185 million years of environmental change and evolution. As the UK’s only Natural World Heritage Site, it’s a landscape like no other and provides a fascinating insight into three different time periods, from the oldest Triassic era defined by the red rock stacks in the east, through to the Jurassic era following in the footsteps of dinosaurs, before ending up at the youngest white chalk cliffs and soft limestone rocks of the Cretaceous period.
