Join us for a very special trip as we head to Dorset to discover the dramatic and famous Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage coastline! Stretching 95 miles between Old Harry Rocks and Orcombe Point, the Jurassic Coast – England’s first Natural UNESCO World Heritage Site – is the most geologically diverse coastline in the world. The exposed cliff sections allow us to look back across 185 million years; dinosaur remains have been found here, and it’s a fossil-hunter’s paradise.Starting from the beautiful beach of Kimmeridge Bay, the path will take us to the iconic natural limestone arch of Durdle Door and the famous scallop-shaped bay of Lulworth Cove with its white pebble beach and crystal clear waters. On our way, we'll pass the hidden gems of Mupe and Worbarrow Bays, the Fossil Forest, containing the most complete fossil record of a Jurassic Forest in the world, and the extraordinary small cove and geologist’s delight, Stair Hole. Most of the route follows the cliff-top trail, with stunning panoramic views of sweeping bays, folded cliffs and the sea. This is a strenuous hike, with 700 metres of ascent and three stiff climbs, but all of your efforts will be well rewarded by the jaw-dropping beauty around you! ?
