Pulpit Rock at Portland Bill
Portland Bill is a narrow
promontory (or
bill) of
Portland stone which forms the most southerly part of
Isle of Portland, and hence the county of
Dorset. The Bill is an important
way point for coastal traffic, and hence three
lighthouses have been built to protect shipping, especially with its strong
tidal race and shallow reef nearby. Nearby
Pulpit Rock was formed due to
quarrying, and remains a popular tourist attraction, as is the famous lighthouse.
