Description fournie par l'éditeur :
This guidebook includes 30 walks on the Jurassic Coast of Devon and Dorset. Covering the coast between Exmouth and Bournemouth, these delightful routes range from 3 to 16 miles (5 to 24 km), exploring and explaining the spectacular geology of this World Heritage area with clear, easily understood descriptions, cross-sections and timelines.
Seasons :
Year-round. Late July and August can be busy on beaches and car parks. Winter (October to March) has more challenging weather and can be muddy underfoot.

Difficulty :
Most walks are on good, clear paths. Coast path ascents and descents can be steep but are short. The longer walks, up to 28 km, require physical fitness but many shorter ones allow time for studying the rockforms and fossils.

The Cretaceous sea that carved right across England. Chalk downland and a rude man at Cerne Abbas. The Purbeck crumple zone caused by Italy's impact with Europe.
