Discover Old Harry Rocks – A Star in “Ocean with David Attenborough”

“If we save the sea, we save our world”

David Attenborough

In his breathtaking new documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough, Sir David Attenborough brings to life the wonders of our blue planet and this time, the iconic Old Harry Rocks along Dorset’s Jurassic Coast takes center stage. As part of the sweeping cinematic journey through the world’s oceans, the film captures the raw, timeless beauty of this natural marvel, offering a powerful reminder of what’s at stake as we fight to protect our seas.

The film premiered from May 8 (2025), to coincide with David Attenborough’s 99th birthday and will be shown again in time for World Ocean Day on Sunday, June 8, 2025. The timing is no coincidence in line with World Ocean Day, the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, and the halfway point of the UN Decade of Ocean Science, Ocean with David Attenborough couldn’t come at a more crucial time. As leaders gather to make decisions that will shape the future of our planet, this film reminds us what’s really at stake. It shows how vital a healthy ocean is — not just for wildlife, but for our climate, our communities, and generations to come. With powerful stories and stunning visuals, it offers hope too: proof that if we act now to protect our seas, we can still turn the tide.

This documentary is a powerful call to action and an invitation to reconnect with nature, a subject very close to our hearts. What better way to answer that call than to explore Old Harry Rocks for yourself? by SUP or kayak.

World Ocean Day is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a global movement to protect our shared ocean. As Sir David Attenborough highlights in the film, ocean health is critical to life on Earth. From regulating our climate to sustaining biodiversity, the sea gives us everything — and it’s our turn to give back.

By joining a Fore Adventure kayaking tour or intermediate SUP session, you’ll not only witness the stunning beauty of Old Harry Rocks, but also gain a renewed appreciation for why it must be protected.

Nestled along the iconic Jurassic Coast, Old Harry Rocks stands as one of Dorset’s most striking natural landmarks—and it’s more than just a scenic wonder. This area forms part of a vital Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ), created to protect its rich underwater ecosystems. Nearby in Studland Bay, efforts like the ‘No Anchor Zone’ are helping to safeguard fragile seagrass beds—essential habitats for marine life like seahorses and nursery fish. These initiatives reflect a broader commitment to marine protection along the Dorset coastline. In places like Kimmeridge, the Dorset Wildlife Trust is leading the charge through its marine centre, dedicated to educating the public and conserving local biodiversity. From chalk cliffs to seagrass meadows, Dorset’s coastal guardians are ensuring that these natural treasures thrive for generations to come.

Plan Your Visit to Dorset’s Jurassic Coast

Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend escape or a traveller drawn by the allure of the documentary, Dorset’s coastline offers a wealth of opportunities. From Studland Bay’s sandy beaches to hikes along the South West Coast Path, there’s so much to see and do.
