Orcombe Point is the most westerly point of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, which stretches from Exmouth to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in Dorset. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that you are surrounded by rocks that are 185 million years old at this point. If you are hiking the South West Coast Path the usual way, you can now look forward to 95 miles (153 km) of classic hiking along the Jurassic Coast.

Great stretch of coast on the Jurassic Coast with imposing red-colored steep walls.

Sited high upon the hill, Orcombe Point is marked by the "Geoneedle". It is constructed from a variety of different stones, representing both the major building stones to be found on the Jurassic Coast and the sequence of rocks that form this part of the coastline.
