Short Breaks
A Jurassic Weekend
Dorset is the perfect place for a long weekend, especially when you're by the sea. This long weekend takes in the Jurassic Coast from Lyme Regis in the West to Durdle Door to the East and you will be staying in the lively seaside resort of Weymouth with its Georgian seafront, long sandy beach and historic harbour. There are lots of places to eat out and harbour-side pubs where you can watch the boats go by.
ITINERARY
Day 1 - Arrive at your accommodation and settle in.
Day 2 - A drive along the coast road to Charmouth and Lyme Regis for a guided fossil hunt. You are practically guaranteed to find something to take home with you! Visit the Jurassic Coast Heritage Centre to see the amazing fossils on display there.
