The Dorset Coast

The Dorset Coast

by Adam Burton (Author)

Synopsis

Although it includes many sandy beaches and picturesque coastal towns, the most spectacular feature of the Dorset coast is the geological diversity which produces some of the most remarkable and easily recognisable natural landmarks in Britain.



The rock formations of the 'Jurassic Coast' include Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, Portland and Chesil Beach and, to the west, Golden Cap - the highest cliff on the South Coast, and the astonishing riches in fossils and amonites of the cliffs around Lyme Regis.



Adam Burton's expert photography captures the magic of this extraordinary landscape.

Media Reviews
Adam Burton's new book, The Dorset Coast, more than does justice to the astonishing richness and variety of our coastal features. From the instantly recognisable natural features of Durdle Dor and Lulworth Cove...our county's coastline has inspired a stunning set of photographs that shed new light on familiar scenes and reveal surprising fresh angles. Dorset Echo The unmanipulated digital photographs possess breathtaking pure quality - fiery embered Lulworth Cove and the eerie stillness skating over the Cobb at Lyme Regis will lodge in your mind forever...This man will go far... Crediton Country Courier A fine collection of photographs indeed. Adam Burton is a new name to me - but if this first book is anything to go by, I'm sure he'll become much more widely known. TGO: The Great Outdoors Landscape photographer Burton does an absolutely blinding job on the Jurassic coastline and crinkly havens of Dorset - all rendered in the colour and swirl of a dream. Country Walking His images are a pleasure to view, and many have been shot with a wide angle lens, drawing you into the scene and straight onto the beach alongside Adam. A true pleasure trip.
