What you will visit:

Jurassic Coastal Scenic Drive
England's first and only Natural World Heritage Site, this winding roadway, 95 miles of dramatic coastline, reveals 185 million years of geological history covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods around every bend. Soak up some scenery and take in every mile of this gorgeous byway. Your route travels west along the 18-mile-long Chesil Beach, en route to the seaside village of Charmouth, where fossil hunters flock to the beaches. Continue to Lyme Regis, famed for the 13th-century Cobb Harbor and the River Lym, which flows through town and gently turns the restored Town Mill waterwheel.

What you will see along the way:
Starting in historic Portland Harbor, which was used for over 500 years by the British Royal Navy and is now one of the largest man-made harbors in the world, you will travel along the famed Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, showcasing 185 million years of geological history from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. You'll pass Chesil Beach, an 18-mile stretch that is separated from the mainland by Fleet Lagoon and was made famous by the novelist Ian McEwan. Your comfortable motorcoach will make its way through Dorset's rolling green countryside to the delightful seaside villages of Charmouth and Lyme Regis.

Photo Opportunities:
Charmouth
The unspoiled village of Charmouth is located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasts coastal views, old-world charm, and picturesque beaches, renowned for their abundance of fossils.

Lyme Regis
The 'Pearl of Dorset,' picturesque Lyme Regis, located at the mouth of the River Lym, is a historic seaside resort and fishing port. A jewel of a spot, it has been a tourism destination and the town's main revenue earner for over two centuries, drawing visitors to its shores, picture-perfect heritage sites, and beaches lined with pastel-hued bathing huts.
