The fossil forest between Lulworth Cove and Kimmeridge was formed around 150 million years ago when rising sea levels flooded the forest that covered the area. The round large fossils are fossilised rings of algae that grew around the rotting tree trunks.

Clavell Tower is a folly built in 1830 by Rev. John Richards Clavell of Smedmore House. It lies on the top of Hen Cliff just east of Kimmeridge Bay. This picture was taken before the tower was taken apart and reconstructed 25 metres from the original to prevent it from falling into the sea.
