    Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, 96 miles long. According to the 2011 census, the town has a population of 183,491 making it the largest settlement in Dorset.

  • 6. Chesil Bank (Chesil Beach) Weymouth
    Chesil Beach , sometimes called Chesil Bank, in Dorset, southern England is one of three major shingle structures in Britain. Its toponym is derived from the Old English ceosel or cisel, meaning gravel or shingle.

The beach curves sharply at the eastern end, near the village of Chiswell, and forms Chesil Cove against the cliffs of the Isle of Port...
