Jurassic Coastline

The Jurassic Coastline stretches 95 miles from Exmouth in East Devon to Old Harry Rocks in Studland Bay in Dorset. The coastline is of such international geological importance that it was designated England's first natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001 and is now part of a family of natural wonders including America's Grand Canyon and Australia's Great Barrier Reef. There are a plethora of amazing features and iconic landmarks to explore, a full list can be found on Jurassic Coast.

If you are visiting Harbour View, it should not be missed!

Here are a few of our favourites:

DURDLE DOOR - Via Durdle Door Holiday Park, West Lulworth, Dorset, BH20 5PU

Eroded by time and nature, Durdle Door is one of Dorset's most photographed and iconic landmarks. It is located on the Lulworth Estate in south Dorset and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The magnificent natural limestone arch was formed when the power of the waves eroded the rock and forged a hole through the middle. The name Durdle is derived from an old English Word which means to pierce, bore or drill.

OLD HARRY ROCKS - Handfast Point, Studland, Dorset, BH19 3AX

Thousand of years ago, Old Harry and The Needles on the Isle of Wight were linked by a line of chalk hills that eroded away during the last ice age. On a clear day you can see The Needles from Studland Bay. It is reputedly named after either a famous local pirate (Harry Paye) or the devil. The route leading to Old Harry is popular with both walkers and cyclists and is part of the South West Coast Path.

LULWORTH COVE - Main Road, West Lulworth, Dorset, BH20 5RQ

The beautiful, pebble beach and blue waters of Lulworth Cove make it a popular destination. Low tide reveals wonderful rock pools teeming with sea creatures - great for exploring with children. The Cove and surrounding countryside are hugely popular with walkers. You can walk to the cove along the South West Coast Path national trail.
