... Fantastic views of one of the most stunning coastlines of Britain... the Jurassic Coast with its dramatic towering fossil-rich cliffs is a walk through time representing 185 million years of earth history... you can see natural shapes like arches, coves, tall rock pillars, and sea stacks... it truly lives up to its name and was once the home to prehistoric giants, animals and vegetation across land, sea and sky... gigantic dinosaurs once roamed the Jurassic Coast... other animals including crocodiles, sharks and turtles also lived in the area... you can walk the entire length of the site on the South West Coast Path... and enjoy fossil hunting in many of the beach locations... Thanks a lot Paul!(✿◠‿◠)
Photo: Bob CroxfordThe Jurassic Coast is found on the coast of southern England, along the English Channel. It stretches for about 155 km from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset.
The name Jurassic Coast comes from the best known of the geological periods found within it, but in fact the Site includes rocks from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The different rocks tell a fascinating story from ancient deserts to tropical seas throughout the Mesozoic era, between 250 million and 65 million years ago.
The Jurassic Coast was added to the World Heritage List in 2001.
