A vacation in the south of England offers more than just picturesque seaside resorts, castles and afternoon tea. Did you know, for example, that the south coast of England has some of the world's best beaches, teeming with fossils and historical artifacts?
Known as the Jurassic Coast, this stunning coastline stretches for 150km from Swanage to Exmouth and is England's first World Heritage Site. The rock formations, which are up to 185 million years old, are today often the site of numerous fossils. Visitors are allowed to collect to their heart's content, as long as they do not break finds out of rocks, do not take everything with them and report larger finds. This also makes this area ideal for a vacation with small children, who can let off steam on the beach and learn while playing.
