Hiking
Standing on the Isle of Portland is like having a front-row seat at the world’s greatest geological fashion show. Because you’re jutting five miles out into the English Channel, the views of the Jurassic Coast are legendary!
Look west and you’ll see the 18-mile "pebble highway" of Chesil Beach curving away like a giant golden scimitar. Look east toward Lulworth Cove, and the chalk cliffs glow like white neon against the blue sea. It’s 185 million years of history served up with a side of salty air and vertigo-inducing heights. Pure, rocky drama!
