JURASSIC EXPRESS HIKING TRAIL

Sat 15th March 2025

A green steam train travels on tracks with the ruins of a castle on a hill in the background. The sky is partly cloudy, and lush greenery surrounds the scene. A vintage steam locomotive with a black engine and green carriages travels along the tracks past a quaint rural station. Stone buildings and a distant castle on a hill are visible under a partly cloudy sky. A coastal landscape with a narrow dirt path leading down a hillside, surrounded by greenery. The view overlooks a curved bay with calm water and a town in the distance under a cloudy sky. White chalk cliffs with grass on top stretch into the sea under a cloudy sky. There is a natural arch near the water and the sea is calm with a few boats in the distance. A person runs on a grassy hill during sunset. The sun is low in the sky, casting long shadows and creating a warm glow. A solitary, leafless tree stands to the right, and gentle slopes stretch towards the horizon. Clifftop view overlooking the ocean with a lone person standing on the edge. The scene features a towering white cliff and a solitary sea stack rising from the water. The sun casts a bright reflection on the calm sea.
