Dorset's Natural Wonders

Dorset’s coastline is defined by the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing 185 million years of geological history. This selection features the iconic limestone arch of Durdle Door, the massive shingle structure of Chesil Beach, and Golden Cap, the highest point on the south coast of England. The list also includes the secluded limestone quarries of Winspit, the chalk downlands of Ballard Down, and the diverse habitats of Poole Harbour, one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
