The UK is home to some of the most remarkable natural wonders, and few places match the beauty and heritage of the Jurassic Coast. Stretching over 95 miles of stunning shoreline from East Devon to Dorset, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers cliff-top walks, fossil hunting adventures, and family-friendly seaside towns.
For families and adventurers gearing up for a road trip to this iconic destination, there’s one thing that can make or break the journey: space in the car. That’s where West Midlands Roof Box Hire comes in. With our top-of-the-line roof boxes, you can pack everything you need without turning your car into a game of Tetris.
Why the Jurassic Coast Should Be on Your Bucket List
This coastline isn’t just beautiful; it’s a walk through 185 million years of history. The area is famous for its dramatic cliffs, fossil discoveries, and charming coastal towns. Whether you’re camping with the kids, staying in a B&B, or hitting the road with friends, the Jurassic Coast has something for everyone.
Top Jurassic Coast Destinations You Can’t Miss
1. Lyme Regis
Known as the fossil capital of the UK, Lyme Regis is perfect for a family day out. Join a fossil-hunting tour or visit the famous Lyme Regis Museum. There are also sandy beaches, seafood restaurants, and coastal walks to enjoy.
2. Charmouth
Another fossil-rich hotspot, Charmouth is quieter than Lyme Regis and great for beachcombing. The Charmouth Heritage Centre gives kids a fun and interactive introduction to the ancient world beneath their feet.
3. Durdle Door
Arguably the most iconic landmark on the Jurassic Coast, this natural limestone arch is breathtaking. It’s a bit of a hike from the car park, so you’ll want to pack beachwear, food, and gear — something made much easier with a roof box.
4. Lulworth Cove
A picturesque horseshoe bay formed thousands of years ago, Lulworth Cove is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and exploring rock pools. The surrounding cliffs offer dramatic walks with panoramic views of the coastline.
5. Weymouth
This classic British seaside town is full of family-friendly attractions, including a beautiful sandy beach, a Sea Life Centre, and a traditional pier. A great base for exploring the coast.
The Packing Challenge: Why a Roof Box is a Game-Changer
Planning to hit several Jurassic Coast stops in one trip? You’ll need space for walking boots, beach gear, waterproofs, food coolers, kids’ toys, and maybe even a dog or two. The boot fills up fast, and suddenly there’s no room for the essentials — let alone comfort on the drive.
Our customers tell us the same thing: “We didn’t realise how much we needed a roof box until we had one.”
That’s because a roof box adds up to 580 litres of extra storage. That’s like doubling the size of your boot. Our Thule dual-opening models make access easy, and every hire includes professional fitting, so you know it’s safe and secure.
Real Convenience, Real Comfort
Imagine not having bags stacked under your feet or trying to squeeze everything into the backseat with the kids. With your gear safely stored in the roof box, the cabin stays clutter-free, and your holiday starts the minute you set off.
Hiring instead of buying is the smart choice:
- No need to spend £500+ on a decent roof box.
- No storage headaches at home.
- No stress — just safe, reliable space when you need it.
