World Heritage Site: Jurassic Coast, England

The Jurassic Coast, commonly known as the Dorset and East Devon Coast, is officially known as the "Dorset and East Devon Coast". It is located on the north shore of the English Channel in southern England, stretching from Exmouth in East Devon to Old Harry Rocks in Studland Bay in Dorset, with a total length of about 154 kilometers. The Jurassic Coast, with its rich history, diverse natural scenery, iconic towns and villages, is one of the most attractive coastal tourist resorts in the UK. Even among similar coasts around the world, the natural scenery here is outstanding. If you can know some more relevant geographical knowledge, I believe it will add more fun to your travels. Spanning 185 million years of Earth's history, the Mesozoic Era, made up of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, was the age of giant reptiles and dinosaurs. A complete sequence of rock formations dating from approximately 250 to 65 million years ago is distributed along the Jurassic Coast, like a complete chronicle. The Jurassic Coast was listed as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2001 due to its unique geographical features, rocks and fossils. It is also the only World Natural Heritage Site in England. The coast from the Deldo Arch to the Chalk Cape is a great place for tourists to sunbathe and go swimming in the sea. If you are lucky, you may discover fossils from the Mesozoic Era. The Jurassic Coast during the Cretaceous period, with sea levels at the Deldo Arch pictured here about 200 metres higher than they are today. This period is when many of the most famous dinosaurs lived, such as Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although no dinosaur fossils have been found on the Jurassic Coast today, fossils of other Jurassic marine creatures have been found here, and it is therefore called the "Jurassic Coast." #OverseasTravel #BritishAttractions #BritishTravel #BritishDestinations #BritishNaturalEcologicalTourism #WorldHeritage #WorldNaturalHeritage #WorldGeologicalPark #EnglishChannel #England
