The Dorset and East Devon Coast, known as the Jurassic Coast, lies on the south coast of England in the United Kingdom. It is a hugely diverse and beautiful landscape underpinned by incredible geology of global importance.

In 2001 the Jurassic Coast was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the Outstanding Universal Value of its rocks, fossils and landforms. It remains England's only natural World Heritage Site.

The Jurassic Coast Trust is no longer in operation.
