Robert HardingThe coastline stretching from Orcombe Point in Devon to Old Harry Rocks in Dorset is one of Britain’s best natural gems, known as the Jurassic Coast. The rocks along these cliffs and beaches are evidence of 185 million years of the Earth’s history, covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks from the Mesozoic Era. Landscape photographer Adam Burton has documented many of the beaches and landforms on the Dorset side of the coastline.
