Dinosaur Theme Park

Many of us will have seen Jurassic Park, the popular film in which an entrepreneur attempted to set up a dinosaur theme park. Away from the fiction, you could take a trip to find out what the Jurassic period was really like.

There's an area on the south coast of England that is known as the Jurassic Coast. Covering some 95 miles of coastline, stretching from Dorset to Devon, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the UK's lesser known gems.

This area has been given its name as a result of the age of the geology in the area. There are exposed rocks that date back some 250 million years - indeed, strictly speaking, they even pre-date the Jurassic geological period.
