The Fossil Forest

Much of the coast through Dorset and Devon is known as The Jurassic Coast and is a World Heritage Site due to the 155 kilometres of dramatic cliffs, sea stacks and tumbling landslides, and of course the abundance of fossils to be found.

This section of the coast was near Lulworth and is known as the Fossil Forest due to the remains of huge trees that can be found there.  The round structures are the trees, but we were even more impressed by the multitude of delicate strata layers in the rocks some of which were wafer-thin.  Simply amazing!
