Information
Get away from it all along the stunning Jurassic Coast, hunt for fossils on Dorset’s picturesque beaches or take a walk on the South West Coast Path. There is more to discover inland; ancient sites and sweeping countryside which hides bustling market towns and thatched villages with local pubs and tea rooms. Enjoy a walk on footpaths that trace historic routes, keeping a watch for shy wildlife including otters, kingfishers, lizards and butterflies. Alternatively relax on the award-winning beaches of Bournemouth, Sandbanks or Studland or take up kite or wind surfing in Weymouth Bay, Portland or Poole Harbour.
Attractions
Spend some ‘quiet time’ in a delightful garden or country house, browse High Street stores, specialist boutiques or markets with their antique bargains and tasty local produce. Soak up history from across the centuries at fascinating museums, in wonderful churches and abbeys, or get involved in the ‘action’ at one of the Tank Museum’s Battle Days.
