SY9576 : View towards Chapman's Pool and Houns-tout cliff from Emmetts Hill
taken 5 years ago, near to Worth Matravers, Dorset, England
Chapman's Pool is a small cove to the west of Worth Matravers on the Isle of Purbeck.
The rocks that form the cove are the upper parts of the Kimmeridge Clay, and are rich in fossils, especially bivalves and ammonites. Most of these fossils are flattened, but three-dimensional examples are preserved in the "Rotunda Nodules", including the age-marker ammonite, the coarse-ribbed Pavlovia rotunda.
The South West Coast Path National Trail - 630 miles of superb coastal walking. From Minehead on the edge of the Exmoor National Park to the shores of Poole Harbour in Dorset. It is the longest of all Britain's National Trails.
