Holidays in Dorset
Dorset is a county full of natural beauty and history, from the stunning coastline that promises a dramatic mix of breathtaking panoramas to the fascinating collection of ancient landmarks and historic houses.
Beaches in Dorset
Along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, you’ll find some of Dorset’s most beautiful beaches, including the iconic beach at Durdle Door with its rugged, stone arch and the tranquil basin at Lulworth Cove, both of which are wonderfully dog-friendly throughout the year. Stretching from the golden sands of West Bay to the Isle of Portland, Chesil Beach is 18 miles long with over 180 billion pebbles creating a sweeping setting for a picnic or wintery beach walk, while Lyme Regis and its surrounding beaches promise fossil-hunting opportunities aplenty (see our webcam for a live view of Lyme Bay).
Things to do in Dorset
Dorset’s coast is perhaps most famous for its fossil-hunting. You can scour the beaches for prehistoric finds or join one of the many guided tours for an in-depth look at the area’s past. Tucked away amidst the tranquil countryside, Dorset boasts a plethora of pretty gardens and impressive castles, from the ruins of Corfe Castle to the perfectly manicured landscapes surrounding Sherborne Castle. For those looking to explore this charming county by foot, the South West Coast Path welcomes walkers and hikers alike.
Places to eat in Dorset
Dining out in Dorset is always an experience, whether you opt for a Michelin star restaurant or a quirky beach café with sweeping views across the ocean. The seaside towns of Lyme Regis and Weymouth are renowned for their seafood eateries, from fish and chips to sharing platters piled high with local crab and oysters. For something you can enjoy in your holiday cottage, head to one of the county’s lovely farm shops and market towns, which promise everything from locally reared meats to homecooked cakes and pies. Of course, it wouldn’t be a visit to the West Country without a pub stop. Historic beams, flickering fires, and flowing ales, nothing beats a Dorset pub, especially when you visit for a Sunday roast with all the trimmings.
