    Old Harry Rocks is a fascinating and impressive rock formation on the Jurassic Coast in southern England. The white chalk cliffs, rising majestically from the sea, provide a breathtaking backdrop and are a real highlight for nature lovers and photographers. The view of the dramatic coastline, bathed in warm colors at sunrise or sunset, is simply unforgettable. Walking along the cliffs is not only beautiful but also exciting, as you can feel the power of nature up close. The history and legends surrounding Old Harry, after whom the rock is named, lend the place a mystical atmosphere. Overall, Old Harry Rocks is an absolute must-see for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the English coast—a place full of natural wonders and fascinating history!

      The best time for the photo is the morning when the south-east side is well lit by the sun.
