Jurassic Coast


Went to the stunningly beautiful Jurassic Coast (Dorset and East Devon Coast) England's First Natural World Heritage Site which represents 185 million years of earth history displaying superb Jurassic with older Triassic and younger Cretaceous rocks.
Highly recommended! The day tour we joined was great..our tour guide is very kind and professional too. you guys can go to Discover Dorset Tours at http://www.discoverdorset.co.uk/
It cost £28 for the 1 day tour which is pretty reasonable. They will take you to the Old Harry Rocks, starting point of the Jurassic Coast, take the Bramble Bush Vay Ferry across the Poole harbour and Brownsea Island. Drive through the Purbeck Hills to the Swanage.
Upon arrival in Durlston Country Park, walked half and hour to cliff top to have a spectacular view of Corfe Castle. Had our lunch near Corfe Castle then drove to the Isle of Purbeck to Kimmeridge Bay to hunt for fossils on the beach.

Look across to St Oswalds Bay with the imposing Man o’ War rocks before finally we visit the magnificent arch of Durdle Door etched from the limestone by the action of countless waves.
