Old Harry Rocks and one of the Pinnacles

At the furthest east point of the Purbeck Ridge are Old Harry Rocks and the Pinnacles; if you look east in the distance you'll just see The Needles and The Isle of Wight, once these two chalk headlands would've been joined as a continuous chalk ridge. If you know Purbeck and you ever visit to the The Isle of Wight you'll spot the similarity in geology and environment immediately.

The Pinnacles and Old Harry

 
Ballard Down and the eastern end of the Purbeck Ridge, and the furthest point eastwards of the Jurassic Coast, are famous for the bright white chalk stacks and arches of the Pinnacles and Old Harry rocks.
