Chapter 2 covers photographically urban Dorset, the towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Chapter 3 showcases the towns and countryside of inland east Dorset.

Chapter 4's photo essay focuses on the eastern half of the Jurassic Coast, plus the Purbeck area.

Chapter 5 concentrates on the western half of the Jurassic Coast, including Weymouth and Lyme Regis.
