Explore the Jurassic Coast by Car

If ragged cliffs, gorgeous beaches and stunning rock formations that date back millennia sound appealing to you, the Jurassic Coast is an incredible, natural site that is well worth visiting. Stretching for mile after mile along the southern coast in the west England, the Jurassic Coast offers amazing opportunities for beach-hopping, hiking, exploration and photography, making it an ideal place to visit for all sorts of people.

One of the best things about this World Heritage Site is the dynamic differences you can see along the course of its path. No two sections are alike and where you might fine serene beaches at one point, there may be awe-inspiring cliffs jutting out above the sea just a mile down the road.

The Jurassic Coast stretches over 93 miles, which makes it difficult to explore if you don't have a form of transport for getting around in. That's why it's a great idea to explore by car. You can speed along the coast with comfort and ease, stopping off at the areas that appeal to you most. What's more, cars make it far easier to transport the entire family, including the dog and the picnic, drinks and snacks that will tide you over for your day's adventure!

Even if you're not terribly fascinated by geology, the knowledge that some of the rock formations you will lay foot on are more than 180 million years old is a humbling experience for many and imagining how the Earth must have changed since these rocks were first formed is a fascinating experience. Of course, many of these formations are part of a beautiful scenery too, meaning it is ideal for budding photographers with their cameras to set off on a wander and snap a few images of whatever catches their eye.

Whether you're interested in taking in stunning natural landforms - such as the stone archway at Durdle Door, the fascinating geoneedle at the coast's most western point, which is a monument created by all the different types of rock that can be found there, or the kids are eager to dig around for dinosaur bones like the complete Ichthyosaur fossil that was discovered around Lyme Regis, the Jurassic Coast has plenty to offer. And by exploring it with a car, you can rest assured that you won't miss a single sight you've been planning on taking in.

If you don't have a car, you can simply look into car hire in Bournemouth to hire one out for your adventures and enjoy touring the Jurassic Coast in style.
