Dorset and East Devon Coast are a stretch of picturesque coastline that is recognised as a World Heritage Site in England. The site is celebrated for having an almost continuous sequence of rock formations spanning the Mesozoic Era, providing an important glimpse into the earth's history.

The Dorset and East Devon Coast is often known as the Jurassic Coast. It stretches from Orcombe Point to Old Harry Rocks, a distance of 153 km (95 mi)

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
