Places to Visit near the Jurassic Coast

There are so many picturesque towns and villages dotted along this UNESCO designated World Heritage Site, with Devon's coast being home to the welcoming town of Sidmouth, where a shingle beach lines the shores and offers a promenade for you to explore. Further along, this part of the coast is the fishing harbour of Seaton, home to the famed Seaton Tramway, and a glorious, shingle beach.

Why not venture to the Dorset coast, which enjoys the eastern part of the Jurassic Coast and is home to even more fantastic locations? One of which is the marvellous town of Lyme Regis, a coastal resort where visitors can learn of the coastline's intriguing history at the museums, before embarking on a guided fossil hunting walk along the beaches and the ammonite pavement. West Bay with its famed cliffs and golf club, and Weymouth with its ample beachfront amusements, RSPB areas and historical landmarks, also rest on this section of the coast.
