Durlston Country Park
Durlston Country Park is a 320 acre country park and nature reserve in Dorset, England.
The Park is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, and has been owned by Dorset County Council since the early 1970's.
The Park is Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Most of the Park is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and since 1997, a Special Area of Conservation. The majority is also designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance. In 1997 the Dorset and East Devon Coast was awarded World Heritage Site status for its geological importance. Durlston forms part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Purbeck Heritage Coast (which holds a Council of Europe Diploma for its management).
In June 2008, Durlston was awarded National Nature Reserve status by Natural England in recognition of the national importance of Durlston for wildlife. Durlston has also been awarded the Green Flag Award in recognition of the quality of its amenities for visitors.
