Natural England - Heritage Coast in Dorset (Purbeck and West Dorset)
Heritage Coast in Dorset (Purbeck and West Dorset)
Purbeck ranges from the creeks and flats of Poole Harbour to Studland's superb white sands, climbing to a spectacular series of chalk and limestone cliffs, including the beauty spot, Lulworth Cove.
Dorset heritage coast
West Dorset continues the contrast, with the Isle of Portland's limestone greys and the white, shingle curve of Chesil Beach. Running west, picturesque villages fringe Lyme Bay and the varied geology produces Golden Cap, the south coast's highest point.
