Scenic, Jurassic, fantastic
Take higher than average summer temperatures and sunshine, coupled with a great range of clean and safe beaches - Sandbanks, Studland and Durdle Door, to name but a few - and you can see what attracts more and more people to this World Heritage coastline – the Jurassic coast. For cove hopping, fossil hunting, local shrimps and lively beach resorts, it’s perfect. For exploring ancient sites sweeping countryside, or the stunning South West Coast Path, it’s equally interesting. For active and outdoor families there’s a whole world of opportunities - from coastal walks and snorkelling, to mountain biking, seal-spotting or bird watching. Take a ride on the reinstated Swanage Steam railway to Corfe Castle, visit Lulworth Cove Heritage centre and Bovington Tank Museum – if not this time, then next.
