Near Durdle Door
Jurassic Coast 51 km
About 154 km of English Channel coast running from Exmouth in Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset, inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2001. Its cliffs expose rock from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous, and the beaches around Lyme Regis and Charmouth are famous for fossils.
Salisbury Cathedral 60 km
An Anglican cathedral raised in just 38 years, between 1220 and 1258, which gives it a rare unity of Early English Gothic style. Its spire, finished by 1330, rises to 123 metres, the tallest in England, and it keeps one of the four surviving original copies of the 1215 Magna Carta.
Glastonbury Tor 65 km
A lone hill above Glastonbury, crowned by the roofless tower of St Michael's Church. Old stories tie it to King Arthur and the isle of Avalon, and the climb gives wide views over the flat Somerset Levels.
Stonehenge 70 km
A prehistoric ring of standing stones on Salisbury Plain, its great sarsens around 4 metres high and capped with lintels held by mortise and tenon joints. The circle is aligned to the summer solstice sunrise and the winter solstice sunset, and sits among hundreds of Neolithic and Bronze Age burial mounds.
Osborne House 72 km
A summer home built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on the Isle of Wight. Albert designed it himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo, and the family's rooms remain much as they knew them, with a private beach below.
Cheddar Gorge 81 km
A limestone gorge cut into the Mendip Hills beside the village of Cheddar. Its show caves, carved by an underground river and hung with stalactites, are where Cheddar Man, Britain's oldest complete human skeleton at about 9,000 years old, was found in 1903.
Roman Baths 85 km
A well-preserved Roman bathing complex built around the hot springs of Aquae Sulis, where a temple stood by 60 to 70 AD. The baths were used until Roman rule ended in the 5th century, and the green, steaming Great Bath is still fed by the natural spring.
