Review
Adam Burton's new book, The Dorset Coast, more than does justice to the astonishing richness and variety of our coastal features. From the instantly recognisable natural features of Durdle Dor and Lulworth Cove…our county's coastline has inspired a stunning set of photographs that shed new light on familiar scenes and reveal surprising fresh angles. (Dorset Echo )
The unmanipulated digital photographs possess breathtaking pure quality - fiery embered Lulworth Cove and the eerie stillness skating over the Cobb at Lyme Regis will lodge in your mind forever…This man will go far... (Crediton Country Courier )
A fine collection of photographs indeed. Adam Burton is a new name to me - but if this first book is anything to go by, I'm sure he'll become much more widely known. (TGO: The Great Outdoors )
Landscape photographer Burton does an absolutely blinding job on the Jurassic coastline and crinkly havens of Dorset - all rendered in the colour and swirl of a dream. (Country Walking )
His images are a pleasure to view, and many have been shot with a wide angle lens, drawing you into the scene and straight onto the beach alongside Adam. A true pleasure trip. (Outdoor Photography )

Product Description
Although it includes many sandy beaches and picturesque coastal towns, the most spectacular feature of the Dorset coast is the geological diversity which produces some of the most remarkable and easily recognisable natural landmarks in Britain.
The rock formations of the 'Jurassic Coast' include Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, Portland and Chesil Beach and, to the west, Golden Cap - the highest cliff on the South Coast, and the astonishing riches in fossils and amonites of the cliffs around Lyme Regis.
Adam Burton's expert photography captures the magic of this extraordinary landscape.

For someone who may not know the Dorset coastline very well, Adam Burton's book is a glorious introduction with just enough text to orientate the viewer for a visit in person. Armchair exploring with this book is a visual feast as stripped of most signs of human interference the landscape is shown in it's stunning variety. Adam Burton captures the contrast of textures so keenly that you can almost taste the tang of sea on moss on rock.
I would definitely recommend this book not only for it's beautiful showcasing of Dorset, but as a collection of amazing photographs in itself.
Would make a great present- a passport to the sea from your armchair.

Having been to see Adam Burton's work at his exhibitions in Dorset, my family are thrilled to have a whole collection of his photos in this book. Most weekends we go walking on the south-west coastal path which Adam has photographed beautifully!
