Old Harry Rocks
The easternmost white chalk sea stacks on the Jurassic Coast, standing in clear blue water and facing the Isle of Wight across the way.
Old Harry Rocks lies at Handfast Point near Studland. Waves have carved these stacks from the chalk cliffs, and they mark the eastern starting point of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. From the National Trust car park in Studland village, walk about 2 km along a flat grassy path to reach the clifftop, where you can look down on the stacks and the bays on either side. You can also view them from the sea on a boat trip departing from Poole or Swanage. There are no railings at the cliff edge, so take care.
