Dorset is famous for its beautiful coastline, the Jurassic Coast, which features landforms such as Lulworth Cove, the Isle of Portland, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door, as well as the holiday resorts of Poole, Bournemouth, Weymouth, Swanage, West Bay and Lyme Regis. Most of Dorset's coastline was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001 because of its geological land forms. The coast documents the entire Mesozoic era from Triassic to Cretaceous, and has yielded many important fossils, including the first complete Ichthyosaur and fossilised Jurassic trees. The coast also features examples of most notable coastal landforms, including a textbook example of cove (Lulworth Cove) and natural arch (Durdle Door). Jutting out into the English Channel is a limestone island, the Isle of Portland, Behind this fascinating coast lies a diverse and unspoilt countryside, dotted with mainly small communities. It has downland, heathland, meadows, rivers and wetlands, all overlooked by the Ridgeway. Whether your seeking a relaxing break or an activity holiday you will not be disappointed with what Dorset has to offer.
