England’s first natural World Heritage site, which stretches for 95 miles, covers 185 million years of the earth’s history with its rich geology - not only Jurassic but also older Triassic and younger Cretaceous rocks. Visit http://www.jurassiccoast.com for the Jurassic Coast website and more details.

Burton Bradstock is not only on the Jurassic Coast but also in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and as such is a tranquil, unspoilt location - a good base for exploring the coast.

From the cliffs in Burton Bradstock, many people are lucky enough to see dolphins close to the shore and, in the deeper waters, you may see a basking shark. It is an ideal place for anyone interested in geology, natural beauty and wildlife.
