Experience the Freedom of a Custom, Story-Led Adventure

A private tour gives you the freedom to see the Jurassic Coast in the way that suits you. Rather than a fixed coach itinerary, your day is shaped around your interests, whether that is coastal walks, photography, fossil‑hunting beaches or charming harbour towns.

With Heritage & Stone Tours, you travel in comfort, usually starting from London or the surrounding region, and head straight to some of the most scenic and geologically important sections of the coastline. Your guide shares stories, local insights and background along the way, helping you understand what makes this World Heritage coastline so special.

Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove

One of the most iconic landmarks on the Jurassic Coast is Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch standing just offshore. A short walk down from the cliff‑top car park leads to a shingle beach with sweeping views of the arch and the coastline beyond. Your guide can explain how sea and weather have gradually carved this dramatic feature from the rock.

Nearby Lulworth Cove is a near‑perfect circular bay, formed by powerful waves breaking through layers of softer rock. The village itself has cafés, pubs and a small visitor centre, making it an excellent stop for refreshments and a gentle walk along the shore or up to the viewpoints above the cove.

Lyme Regis and The Fossil Coast

Often called the "pearl of Dorset", Lyme Regis is a historic seaside town set among steep hills and a sheltered bay. Its harbour wall, known as the Cobb, and its pastel‑coloured seafront make it a favourite spot for coastal strolls and photography.

Just beyond the town, the beaches and cliffs are famous for fossils, including ammonites and marine reptiles that have been discovered here since the time of pioneering fossil hunter Mary Anning. Depending on tides and conditions, your tour can include time to explore a fossil‑rich beach, learn how the rocks formed, and search for your own small finds among the pebbles.

West Bay & the Dramatic Cliffs of West Dorset

West Bay, near Bridport, is known for its towering golden cliffs and wide, sweeping beach. The sandstone here has been shaped into sheer faces and striking patterns, especially impressive in low, slanting light.

A stop at West Bay offers clifftop walks with expansive views along the coast, as well as a traditional harbour with fishing boats and kiosks offering fresh seafood. Your guide can suggest short walks suitable for your group and explain how the cliffs continue to change over time.

Chesil Beach & Portland

Chesil Beach is an 18‑mile shingle barrier beach running from West Bay to the Isle of Portland. From certain viewpoints it appears as a long, sweeping curve of pebbles with the Fleet Lagoon on one side and the open sea on the other.

On the Isle of Portland itself, former quarries and rugged cliffs reveal layers of limestone that have been used in building projects across Britain. The exposed rock faces and coastal views make this an interesting stop for those keen on geology, coastal scenery and maritime history.

Quiet Villages, Coves and Coastal Walks

Beyond the well‑known landmarks, the Jurassic Coast is dotted with quieter corners: traditional fishing villages, tucked‑away coves and cliff‑top paths with far‑reaching views.

Depending on your preferences and conditions on the day, your private tour might include a stop in a small harbour town, a short section of the South West Coast Path, or a visit to a less‑visited beach known for its rock pools and coastal wildlife. Your guide will help you balance scenic viewpoints with time to simply enjoy the landscape.
