Dorset's farmland and the look it has bequeathed to the landscape has thankfully been little touched by excessive modern development. The limestone cliffs of the Dorset coast are rich in nature and in other ways; "Purbeck marble", Portland stone, and from the cliffs of Lyme Regis innumerable dinosaur fossils. Chesil Beach, a unique pebble bank runs some eight miles to the Isle of Portland, projecting into the English Channel south from Weymouth. Weymouth and Poole Harbour are top yachting havens. Poole Harbour, a great island-studded inlet between Purbeck and the town of Poole, is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. Dorchester is a confident market town. The rest of the county is a landscape of farmland and villages with smaller historic towns.
