The geology changed dramatically on this run along the west coast of the Isle of Portland from Portland Bill to the Chesil Beach visitor’s centre.

There were numerous diversions on the route as a result of cliff subsidence.

The animal sculptures were very unexpected: an elephant, bison and bear.

Don’t take the pebbles! There are not many left on Chesil Beach!
