Golden Cap is a magnificent natural landmark located in the charming village of Morecombelake. It is the highest point on the south coast of England, standing at an impressive height of 191 meters above sea level. The cap is a distinctive feature of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that spans 95 miles of stunning coastline.
The name "Golden Cap" comes from the golden hue that the cliffs take on during the sunset, creating a breathtaking sight that is not to be missed. The cap is made up of layers of sandstone and mudstone, which have been eroded over millions of years by the sea and wind, creating a unique shape that is instantly recognizable.
Visitors to Golden Cap can enjoy a range of activities, including hiking, birdwatching, and photography. There are several trails that lead to the summit, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside and coastline. The most popular route is the Golden Cap Estate walk, which takes you through picturesque meadows and woodlands before reaching the summit.
At the top of Golden Cap, you will be rewarded with panoramic views of the English Channel, Chesil Beach, and the rolling hills of Dorset. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the Isle of Wight. It is the perfect spot to take in the beauty of the Jurassic Coast and to appreciate the natural wonders of this stunning part of England.
Overall, Golden Cap is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Jurassic Coast. Its unique shape, stunning views, and rich history make it a truly unforgettable experience.
