Jurassic Park
Feb/760
The unique and beautiful Lyme Bay traverses West Dorset and East Devon in south west England, a part of the coastline known as The Jurassic Coast. As England’s first natural World Heritage Site the coastline is up there with the world’s most famous attractions such as the Grand Canyon in the USA and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
The Jurassic Coast covers 95 miles of truly stunning coastline from West Dorset to East Devon, with landscape recording 185 million years of the Earth’s history. World Heritage status was achieved because of the site’s unique insight into the Earth Sciences as it clearly depicts a geological ‘walk through time’ spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Charmouth Beach in West Dorset is one of the best places along the Jurassic Coast to search for fossils. Guided fossil walks led by experts are organised from the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, situated just by the beach – the walks take place throughout the year and help to bring to life the area’s 185 million years of geological history.
The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre is a mine of information regarding the geology of the Jurassic Coast, the fossils and the local wildlife – the centre’s wardens are on hand to answer your questions about the area. The Heritage Centre promotes the sustainable collection of fossils and it’s worth checking out the advice on fossil collecting at the centre before setting out on your fossil hunting expedition.
One of the most wonderful ways of exploring The Jurassic Coast is to take a ride on the Jurassic Coast Bus service (the X53). This bus travels along what must be one of the most beautiful and scenic routes in the country and connects Exeter, Sidford, Beer, Seaton, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Bridport, Abbotsbury, Weymouth, Wool, Wareham and Poole (summer service). An Explorer Ticket offers unlimited travel along the route for a day. The ticket costs just £6.00 for an adult, £4.50 for a child or £13.00 for a family ticket (up to four people with no more than two adults).
Not only can you sit back and enjoy the views from the top deck while somebody else drives but you can get off the bus and explore the towns, villages and attractions along the route. The bus service is also ideal for walkers who want to walk along a section of the coast path as they have the option of either travelling out or back by bus.
The low floor buses run every two hours and tickets offer unlimited travel for a day. So why not hop aboard and let the bus take the strain as you explore this stunning coastline.
There is something almost magical about this area and it is certainly a wonderful place to take a break. Take some time to come and explore the heritage coastline, the historic towns and hideaway villages in an area of truly stunning natural beauty.
The Jurassic coast is a wonderful place to visit all year round and is an ideal place for family seaside holidays, romantic short breaks for two or winter weekend breaks. One of the most flexible ways to visit the area is to book a self-catering holiday cottage. Lyme Bay Cottages provide self-catering holiday accommodation all year round with properties ranging from traditional Devon and Dorset cottages through to modern apartments – some in quiet country hideaways others in lively little coastal towns and villages. You can view holiday cottage details and more information about the Lyme Bay area at LymeBayCottages.com.

Jurassic Park III [VHS] $4.99 Surpassing expectations to qualify as an above-average sequel, Jurassic Park III is nothing more or less than a satisfying popcorn adventure. A little cheesier than the first two Jurassic blockbusters, it’s a big B movie with big B-list stars (including Laura Dern, briefly reprising her Jurassic Park role), and eight years of advancing computer-generated-image technology give it a sharp edge over … |

The Lost World – Jurassic Park (Collector’s Edition) [VHS] $2.34 In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg’s sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island … |

Jurassic Park [VHS] $0.91 Steven Spielberg’s 1993 mega-hit rivals Jaws as the most intense and frightening film he’d ever made prior to Schindler’s List, but it was also among his weakest stories. Based on Michael Crichton’s novel about an island amusement park populated by cloned dinosaurs, the film works best as a thrill ride with none of the interesting human dynamics of Spielberg’s Jaws. That lapse proves unfortunate, … |
