It's easy to understand why the Jurassic Coast is high up on the list of the UK's favourite walking destinations, loved by fans of the great outdoors and all those who embrace their right to roam.

This magnificent stretch of coastline plays host to a series of exhilarating walks, all with breath-taking views of Lyme Bay and taking in some of the area's most famous landmarks, such as the limestone arch of Durdle Door or the chalky sea stacks of Old Harry Rocks.

Scientists have used the layers of rock that make up the Jurassic Coast to help chart the earth's history, and the ancient Dorset cliffs often reveal prehistoric fossils dating back millions of years. The Jurassic Coast also plays host to a myriad of wildlife, everything from the silver-studded blue butterfly to the spring green sand lizard.

As one of the West Country's leading holiday cottage agents, Toad Hall Cottages prides itself on placing its guests in their perfect location. Whether it's a family walking break, solo escape or couples retreat they have a huge choice of properties along the Jurassic coast, the majority of which also accept dogs.  Popular properties with easy access to the Coast Path include Lymelight in Lyme Regis, a stylish modern property for 4 (3 nights from £614); Berry's Barn in Colyton, a luxury barn conversion sleeping 8 (3 nights from  £459); and Heron Cottage , a pretty cottage for 2 also in Colyton with numerous walks from the door (3 nights from £276).
