Welcome to Seaton Visitor Centre Trust Website

The Trust (now a recognised charity) developed from a group of about a dozen people who, even before the World Heritage status was awarded to the Jurassic Coast in 2001.

The Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site is England's first natural World Heritage Site - it is known as The Jurassic Coast. It covers 95 miles of truly stunning coastline from East Devon to Dorset, with rocks recording 185 million years of the Earth's history. World Heritage status was achieved because of the site's unique insight into the Earth Sciences as it clearly depicts a geological 'walk through time' spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Over the years the group has broadened to include more community volunteers, many professionals willing to help develop ideas and now includes a dedicated Project Manager, Tracey Guiry, who is working hard to bring the proposed Visitor Centre to reality.

Our activities are not all focussed on fundraising, although of course, your support is always welcome at our Events. Please consider becoming a Friend of the new centre so that we can keep you personally informed of progress.

In the future, many activities will pivot around the Centre, but until then see our Ongoing Activities for the many projects we have started, places to visit/things to do, which are there for us all to enjoy now.

All the latest News and Progress can be found, including our press coverage and future events, so please look out for ways in which you can get involved or can support us.

If you have a skill that you feel we could benefit from, have some time to spend to join in one of the activities or indeed have any suggestions, please contact us.
