If you’re wondering about the origin of the Jurassic Coast’s name, let’s just say that it wouldn’t be a waste of time to hunt for fossils here.  A World Heritage Site since 2001, this unique landmark stretches 96 miles across the south of England and is known to have diverse and abundant collection of fossils from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.  One of its more notable landmarks is Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch in Dorset. You’ll find this gem reinventing itself year-round — adorned by colourful flowers in the spring and bare and brisk in the colder months.  After a day of cliff walks and beach strolls, head 25 miles to The Summer Lodge hotel where you’ll experience the epitome of cosiness amid a natural countryside oasis.  Be sure to try hand-crafted wines from the hotel’s very own award-winning South African vineyard, Bouchard Finlayson.
