There are many different ways to travel to and around the Jurassic Coast. When making your choice, do consider the consequences of your chosen form of transport on both the global and local environment.

You may think that taking your car offers you the greatest independence, but think again. Using the rail network and the Jurassic Coast bus frees you from the confines of long-distance traffic jams, and from the task of finding a parking space (and paying for it!) once you get here. Local minibus tours run daily along some parts of the coast - try DIscover Dorset Tours , treat yourself, let someone else worry about the driving for a change.

While the South West Coast Path allows you to walk along the full length of the Jurassic Coast in an environmentally-friendly - and healthy - fashion, the boat trips on offer allow you to view the amazing colours,patterns and formations of the rocks in the cliffs from a unique perspective.
