Blog (November 2022) - Jurassic Coast

Seaside towns adorned with lights. Father Christmas arriving by boat. Boxing Day walks on the beach. A bracing swim on Christmas morning… There’s nowhere quite like Dorset at Christmastime, and now’s the perfect time to secure your festive escape.
 

We’ve teamed up with our friends at Dorset Hideaways to showcase a couple of Jurassic Gems that make for a perfect winter retreat.

Last week, we launched a crowdfunding campaign intended to help us develop a feasibility study for a new museum dedicated to the outstanding geology, palaeontology and geomorphology of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

This week, we delve deeper into why this project has become an important priority for us and what else we will be doing to make this new museum a reality.

Jurassic Coast Trust Ambassador Steve Belasco is a marine photographer documenting our World Heritage Site entirely from offshore. Here he begins a monthly blog where he will be highlighting an image that has a particular significance to him and briefly explaining why.

The Jurassic Coast Trust are calling for public support to catapult the development of a proposed new museum dedicated to the outstanding geology, palaeontology and geomorphology of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site with the launch of a crowdfunding platform and benefit event in early 2023.
