GEO – WEEK 2024

25th May – 2nd June 2024

#activeGeoWeek2024

Geo Week is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonderful geology the World has to offer. “GeoWeek is an established initiative that seeks to introduce geoscience to as many members of the public as possible” (University Geoscience UK).

To experience the incredible geology of the Jurassic Coast, we have suggested some walks and earth cache’s below.

Beer Earth Cache self-guided walk

Enjoy a leisurely walk around Beer in Devon, taking in some of the iconic Jurassic Coast cliffs in your hunt for the earth caches.

Earth Cache 1: https://coord.info/GC3R5VH

Earth Cache 2: https://coord.info/GC77NHN

Loop round to include the Fine Foundation Beer Village heritage centre for a complete guide to the geology of Beer and the surrounding area.

For those of you wishing to venture further, here is a lovely circular walk from Beer to Branscombe, taking in some spectacular views of the World Heritage Site.

Bowleaze Cove self-guided walk

Take in one of our team’s favourite walks along the Jurassic Coast, including a Jurassic Coast Trust-guided walk on 30th May 10am, book here

Then head on further to Osmington Mills, a relatively gentle walk (for the Jurassic Coast) to a lovely pub, the Smugglers Inn at Osmington (DT3 6HF) for lunch, followed by a gentle amble back to Bowleaze Cove along the South West Coast Path.

Walk route can be found here.

This walk can be enjoyed at any time without the guided walk at the start.

Dinosaur footprints self-guided walk

Starting at the Square & Compass, a pub with stunning views of the coast and a charming museum of local fossils, it is a short walk to the Spyway dinsoaur footprints.

Including a Jurassic Coast Trust-guided walk on 31st May 12-12, book here

From here, there are so many interesting geological features within easy walking distance. The area around Winspit Cave and Dancing Ledge are not to miss.

A nice option is this circular walk (see video below of ‘Walks with Rebecca’) from Chapman’s Pool, taking in St Aldhems head, is a 3 mile walk where you will encounter some wonderful geology.

If you have the ‘Situate’ app (free to download from the Google Play store and Apple App store), the Purbeck GeoTrail was created last year.

A short circular walk starting from Worth Matravers, with some key geological features of the Jurassic Coast to experience along the way. The route includes the Square and Compass pub, St Nicholas Church, Winspit Bottom, Winspit Quarry, Seacombe Cliff, Hedbury Quarry, Dancing Ledge and Dinosaur footprints.
