Posted on Aug 03, 2025 / Travel
The Jurassic Coast was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 for its outstanding universal value in geology. The cliffs and rock formations reveal a near-continuous sequence of rock formations covering 185 million years of Earth's history. Fossils, landslides, sea stacks, and natural arches make this coast a textbook example of geological processes and provide an invaluable record for scientific study.
