The Jurassic Coast






The Jurassic Coast in the south of England is beautiful! We had been recommended to visit Lyme Regis town and were not disappointed. All the beaches are pebbled which takes a bit of getting used to. This is the fossil area and apparently there are fossils everywhere around here. There was this bloke with balancing stones, which I have seen on cards back in Australia.

We visited a swannery where the bouncing bombs in WWII were tested. Now a rare 'mute' swan breeds there and they nest everywhere around the place so you can get close to them and even see their eggs when they change duties. Some had up to 6 eggs.
