COAST & SEA by Sarah Welton
£5.95
Virtually all of Dorset’s coast is now part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. One of Britain’s first underwater Marine Wildlife Reserves is at Kimmeridge. Then there are the unique shingle bank of Chesil Beach and the Fleet lagoon, Poole Harbour with its saltmarshes and islands, the limestone cliffs of Portland and Purbeck, as well as rock pools, undercliffs, sand dunes and some truly stunning beaches. Such diversity explains the extraordinary richnesss of the plants and animals that flourish along Dorset’s coast and in its seas – a wildlife that ranges from dolphins to red squirrels, from a bright blue seaweed to the Lulworth skipper butterfly, and from guillemots to early spider orchids.
