Durdle Door - Sunset over Dorset.

            The 95 mile stretch of coast between Studland Bay in Dorset and Exmouth in Devon is known as The Jurassic Coast and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stretch in Dorset is particularly famous with well-known geological features such as Old Harry Rocks, Chesil Beach, Lulworth Cove and the iconic Durdle Door arch. The arch was formed after the sea pierced through the Portland and Purbeck limestones roughly 10,000 years ago. The alternating sequences of harder (more resistant) and softer (easily eroded) rocks is what has created the cliffs and bays on this stretch of coast and makes it a popular destination for students and tourists alike. 

With the day coming to a close as the sun is caught dropping towards the horizon across Weymouth Bay, the Isle of Portland can be seen through the arch. The white cliff to the right is Bat's Head, with the natural chalk arch of Bat's Hole just visible on the waterline.
