Kimmeridge - Dorset
Last updated: [01/04/02]  last visited 2001
Jurassic

One of the most peaceful coastal areas of the South West. Several miles of inaccessible coastline with high cliffs and rocky shores makes it extremely dangerous. However it is rich in Plesiosaurs, Ichthyosaurs, crocodiles, and Pterosaurs remains. If visiting, ensure you know the tide times.
