Discover the Jurassic Coast with Large Outdoors

Embark on an unforgettable walking weekend with Large Outdoors at Lulworth Cove, part of the iconic Jurassic Coast. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stretches along the Dorset coastline, offering a fascinating glimpse into Earth's geological history.

The Geological Marvels of the Jurassic Coast

The Jurassic Coast is a treasure trove of geological wonders, with rock formations dating back over 185 million years. As you walk along this coast, you'll encounter dramatic cliffs, fossil-rich beaches, and natural landmarks. One of the highlights is the striking limestone arch of Durdle Door, a perfect example of natural coastal erosion. Nearby, Lulworth Cove showcases textbook examples of coastal geomorphology, with its perfect horseshoe shape carved by the sea over millennia.

Walking with a Purpose

Walking along the Jurassic Coast is not just about the stunning landscapes but also about experiencing the rich history embedded in the rocks. Each step reveals a new layer of Earth's past, from the Triassic deserts to the Jurassic seas and the Cretaceous chalks. Fossil hunting is a popular activity here, with the chance to uncover ancient marine life remnants that once swam in these prehistoric seas.
