Jurassic Coast

Lyme Regis is located in Dorset, England. The cliffs at Lyme Regis are composed of sediment deposited during the Jurassic, and have yielded marine fossils such as ammonoids and spectacular marine reptiles. The fossils of Lyme Regis fired the imagination of some of the earliest palaeontologists, and the site continues to amaze and delight fossil collectors. This location, with the surrounding coast of Devon and Dorset, has recently been accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This distinction is expected to greatly increase the number of visitors with a geological interest to the area.

Chesil Beach

Chisel Beach is a ridge topped with shingle stretching from West Bay, where it is at the foot of East Cliff, then: to the west leaves the cliffs forming an arch as it reaches the Isle of Portland.
Chisel Beach appears to be a barrier formed from the sea bed by south westerly tidal surges which is occasionally: over-topped, notably the hurricane of November 1824, and storm surge of 13th February 1978.
A natural tombola joins Portland with the mainland at Weymouth, which had natural lower points than Chisel Beach,: and has been widened and dredged to form a permanent entrance under Ferry Bridge from Portland Harbour,; ensuring that Fleet Lagoon, remains tidal, providing sheltered marine environment between Chisel Beach and; the undulating coastline back ten miles to Abbotsbury where Chisel Beach leaves the original coastline.
