Portland Bill Lighthouse • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the southernmost tip of the Isle of Portland, a rugged finger of limestone reaching out into the English Channel. You are standing before the iconic Portland Bill Lighthouse, recognizable by its brilliant white tower and single bold red band. As you look out over the horizon, you are at the gateway of the world famous Jurassic Coast, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage site known for its prehistoric secrets. This location, often referred to as the Trek to the Triceratops area, serves as a starting point for exploring millions of years of geological history. Take a deep breath of the salty air and prepare to discover why this beautiful, wind swept headland has been both a savior for sailors and a graveyard for ships for centuries.
