Jurassic Coast World Heritage – Help Shape the New Website

The Jurassic Coast is the Dorset and East Devon coastline between Orcombe Point (near Exmouth) and Studland Bay (near Poole). It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 under criterion viii (Earth’s history) because of the global scientific importance of its geology, fossils and coastal landforms.
Along approximately 155 km (95 miles) of largely undeveloped cliffs and beaches, the rocks expose an almost continuous record of around 185 million years of Earth’s history, including internationally important fossil localities and classic examples of coastal geomorphological features and processes.
The Site’s Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) lies in this exceptional geological record and the way it is maintained by ongoing natural processes, particularly erosion. Protecting OUV means allowing these natural processes to continue, while managing access, safety and use responsibly through partnership working.
What we are doing
We are building a new official Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site website to explain the Site’s Outstanding Universal Value (OUV), support safe and responsible visiting, and provide a hub for the partnership.
Your input will help shape the new official website for the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site partnership, planned to launch in December 2026.
What the website is (and isn’t)
The website will be the official place for the Site’s Outstanding Universal Value (OUV), safe and responsible visiting (including coastal change, tides, cliffs and landslides), fossil collecting guidance, and a practical hub for the partnership.
It is not a tourism sales/booking site or a commercial directory.
What we’re asking for
This survey helps us:
confirm what the website should do especially well (priorities and audiences)
apply a consistent approach to signposting and external links (partners/public bodies and official destination websites)
gather details (optional) for organisations who wish to be included on the Jurassic Coast Trail / interactive map
identify potential sources of high-quality photography and drone footage (optional)
Deadline
Please complete the survey by 22/05/2026

About you - a few details about you and your organisation.
Website scope & priorities - quick tick‑box questions to confirm what the new site should focus on most and do especially well (priorities and audiences).
Signposting - what types of links the website should include (partners/public bodies and official destination websites), and whether you’d like your organisation signposted.
Jurassic Coast Trail / interactive map - If you want to be included as a map point / trail partner, you can provide listing details; if not, you can skip this section.
Photography & drone footage - optional. You can upload images/footage that you would like us to use, simply tell us what might be available, or suggest places where imagery of the World Heritage Site could be sourced.
