Jurassic Coast Tours
The Jurassic Coast is England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site — a 95-mile stretch of coastline spanning 185 million years of geological history. Our guided small-group tours take you to its most breathtaking landmarks, from the iconic Durdle Door arch to the perfectly formed Lulworth Cove and the ancient ramparts of Corfe Castle. With a local expert guide and a comfortable minibus, you'll experience the very best of Dorset's coastline without the stress of navigating narrow country lanes or crowded car parks.
What Makes the Jurassic Coast Special?
The Jurassic Coast is one of the most geologically important coastlines on Earth. Its rock layers record a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous rock — a walk along its beaches is quite literally a walk through 185 million years of Earth's history. Fossils are still being discovered here today, and the coastline's natural erosion constantly reveals new specimens.
Beyond its scientific significance, the Jurassic Coast is simply stunning. Towering chalk cliffs, hidden coves, sweeping bays, and dramatic natural arches make it one of the most photogenic stretches of coastline in Britain. Our tours are designed to show you the very best of it, with time at each location to explore, take photographs, and learn about the area from your guide.
Top Highlights on Our Jurassic Coast Tours
Durdle Door
One of the most photographed landmarks in Britain, Durdle Door is a spectacular natural limestone arch formed by the sea eroding a weakness in the rock. Our Durdle Door tours give you time to walk down to the beach and admire the arch from both above and below, with your guide explaining the geology behind its formation.
Lulworth Cove
A near-perfect circular bay formed by the sea breaching softer rock behind a resistant chalk barrier. Lulworth Cove tours include time to walk the beach, visit the heritage centre, and take in the viewpoint from the coast path above.
Corfe Castle
A thousand-year-old ruined castle standing on a hill in the heart of Purbeck, Corfe Castle is one of Dorset's most atmospheric historic sites. Our Corfe Castle tours include time to explore the ruins and learn about the castle's dramatic role in the English Civil War.
Old Harry Rocks
A striking line of chalk sea stacks at the easternmost point of the Jurassic Coast, Old Harry Rocks marks where the Jurassic Coast meets the English Channel. The coast path here offers some of the finest views in Dorset.
Small-Group Minibus Tours
We deliberately keep our group sizes small — typically between 6 and 15 people. This means you get a more personal experience, can ask your guide questions throughout the day, and can access viewpoints and parking areas that large coaches simply cannot reach. Our comfortable minibuses take you along the narrow lanes of Purbeck and the coast road in a way that big coach tours cannot match.
