Yet another Island and one of my favourite coastlines, the Isle of Portland is a small island within the Dorset County. A barrier beach called Chesil Beach joins it to the mainland. Portland is a central part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Portland stone, a limestone famous for its use in British and world architecture, including St Paul's Cathedral and the United Nations Headquarters, continues to be quarried here.

This drone video mainly featured Portland Bill Lighthouse and Pulpit rock.

Portland Bill Lighthouse is a functioning lighthouse at Portland Bill, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. Portland Bill Lighthouse is the waymark for many ships navigating the English channel and prominent architecture will amaze you as soon as you arrive there.

Pulpit Rock is a coastal feature at Portland Bill, the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. Representing an open bible leaning on a pulpit, Pulpit Rock was formed in the 1870s after a natural arch was cut away by quarrymen at Bill Quarry.
