Old Harry Rocks The sheer-faced, dazzling white chalk sea stacks look almost ready to topple over into the sea – these iconic rock formations mark the youngest and most eastern extreme of the Jurassic Coast.
Take a Jurassic Coast Cruise from Poole Quay, for a closer look at the spectacular Old Harry Rocks and the coast beyond
Nearby fossil interest
Fossil slab Durlston Castle Visitor Centre, Swanage
Caught in an eerie soup of prehistoric swamp, the fossil remains of fish, sharks, turtles and crocodiles can all be seen in just one ‘tombstone’ slab of limestone rock.
Lulworth CoveA perfect text-book cove, backed by pure white chalk cliffs – on a sunny day you could almost be in a Caribbean bay lapped by a shallow, turquoise sea.
Walk the South West Coast Path: Bindon Hill (circular route from West Lulworth), 3.8 miles, moderate to walk www.southwestcoastpath.com/westlulworth-circular
Nearby fossil interest
Fossil Forest – near Lulworth Cove Relics of a forest that thrived before the first flowering plants appeared – drowned by rising sea levels, the ghostly hollows left by the decaying trees, and the strange rock formations formed by the algae that encased them, are all that is left of this once lush, tropical jungle.

Nearby fossil interest
Pliosaur fossil Dorset County Museum, Dorchester
With a skull and jaws almost two and a half metres in length, these larger-than-life measurements give this pliosaur fossil a certain presence locked in a menacingly gaping, all teeth baring, poise – ready to effortlessly snap its next victim in two.
Ladram BayThese majestic sea stacks showcase the striking, desert-red Triassic rocks of East Devon – the rocks of which were laid down during the dawn of the dinosaurs. The Triassic rocks mark the oldest and most western extreme of the Jurassic Coast.
Take the two and a half hour ‘Jurassic Coast Cruise’ from Exmouth, for the best views of the stunning East Devon coastline. www.stuartlinecruises.co.uk
Nearby fossil interest
Rhynchosaur fossilRoyal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter
A fearsome and bizarre herbivore from a time before the first dinosaurs – this land reptile from the Triassic era had a super-sized beak and front teeth designed to slash and tear at Triassic plants.
