Charmouth lies at the mouth of the Char River in West Dorset in England and has a population of 1,687 as per the 2001 census.
The rolling countryside, fascinating beaches and mild climate make it an attractive place to visit.
The town is an important part of the west Dorset area with its outstanding natural surroundings, national and international coastlines and is designated as a ‘Gateway’ to the World Heritage Site in Dorset.
This coastal village has a range of fabulous fossils of ammonites, giant marine reptiles, nautili, crinoids, belemnites, bivalves and intricate crinoids. A number of fossil hunters visit the place to search the beaches for fossils washed up onto the cliffs.
The shores and the cliffs between Charmouth and the sea town symbolize the early stages of the Jurassic period known as the Pliensbachian and Sinemurian period which dates back to almost 180 million years back.
