West Bay and the Jurassic CoastCoastlines in West Country, United Kingdom West Bay is "Dorset's Golden Gateway to the Jurassic Coast" – a great little harbour town and a wonderful base-camp for walkers, fossil hunters, fishermen (and fisherwomen!), paragliders, golfers,and photographers, et al. The South-West coastal path can be pursued in either direction - westwards towards Lyme Regis and Sidmouth, or eastwards towards Abbotsbury and Weymouth. Excellent walking, if a little steep in places.
The 'Jurassic Pier' offers splendid coastal views and, along with the beach on either side, a great opportunity to land a few mackerel, or even something much bigger... The imposing cliffs make great launch-pads for people who like to throw themselves into the air under a colourful piece of silk or nylon. And if you're needing a spot of lunch or supper, there are plenty of harbourside kiosks serving freshly cooked fish and chips; the Riverside Restaurant, with its scenic views and excellent seafood; and at least a couple of friendly pubs.
Just a few miles to the east lies the popular Hive Beach, at Burton Bradstock, with its excellent 'cafe-on-the-beach' and a National Trust car park. Read more about this at World Reviewer: West Bay and the Jurassic Coast »

About usStuck at your desk? Gazing out at those grey skies and imagining you are somewhere else? I want to go here is all about inspiring you to do something different - about encouraging you to check out a new experience or destination. It's simple - we post something new every day. If you like the look of it, send it to a couple of friends. If not, wait and see what tomorrow brings. And if it gets past the fantasy stage, we'll soon have links to research the experience further, but you can also send us an email, and we'll tell you where to look or book next. |
