The Jurassic Coast is a 95 mile stretch of outstanding geology in between Dorset and East Devon which is now designated as a World Heritage Site.
Well preserved dinosaurs and dinosaur footprints have been found along parts of the coast and West Dorset is a very good area for fossils.
The beaches around Kimmeridge are very popular with fossil hunters and the safest way to find fossils is on the beaches at low tide.
For more information on the Jurassic Coast you can obtain the Jurassic Coast leaflet from either Swanage or Wareham Tourist Information Centres or visit the Jurassic Coast website at:
