Jurassic Coast, Coastal World Heritage Site in Dorset, England.

The 95-mile coastline presents limestone cliffs, rock formations, and natural stone arches extending from Exmouth in Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset.

This section of English coast contains rock layers from three geological periods spanning 185 million years, documenting the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous eras.

Museums along the coastline display numerous marine fossils, prehistoric remains, and geological specimens collected from the exposed cliff faces over centuries.

Visitors can access the coast through multiple entry points, with dedicated parking areas and coastal paths connecting main locations like Lyme Regis and Charmouth.

The rock layers reveal complete sequences of marine life evolution through three geological periods, making it a reference site for international geological research.
