In 2001 the Dorset and East Devon Coast was inscribed on the World Heritage List as a place of outstanding universal value on the basis of its geological succession, coastal processes and landforms and its place in the history of the development of geology (especially stratigraphy and palaeontology). Extending from Orcombe Point in the west to Studland in the east, this World Heritage Site’s 85 miles of coastline contains a record of 185 million years of Earth history.
