Weymouth Lowlands, Chalk and Limestone Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Weymouth Lowlands lies on the south Dorset coast, stretching from just west of Bridport to Weymouth Bay in the east. The chalk ridge of the Dorset Downs rises to the north, the NCA covering the undulating below the scarp stretching down to the sea. A large part of the coast is defined by Chesil Beach. The area falls within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the coast is within the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. Of the area, 11% is defined as urban.
