| Having a background in art,
map drawing and web building, the Jurassic Coastline has inspired me
for its aesthetic qualities. It’s
natural beauty and ruggedness is often contrasted with colour and wildlife.
I love exploring the Jurassic Coastline as a place for inspiration. Its clean sea air helps to clear the mind and the many varied shorelines provide a constantly changing landscape.

To
me the Jurassic Coast is a very special place. There is nowhere else
in the world where so much diversity in the landscape can be seen so
easily or dramatically. Making these films gave me the perfect excuse to explore all the Jurassic Coast has to offer. This coastline is full of secrets and beautiful landscape, but many are unseen from the road and you have to get onto the beaches to be able to really appreciate all its wonders. It seemed a natural progression for me to develop a website to actively encourage people to explore the Jurassic Coast so others can enjoy the same experiences I have. Its only then that you can really begin to understand
how this landscape came to be, with all its coves, sea stacks, fossils,
history and wildlife - all of which justify the areas World Heritage
