Dorset

The county of Dorset is in the South West of England on the channel coast. Although largely a rural area, you will find several holiday resorts in dorset including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Swanage, and Lyme Regis.

Other Dorset attractions include: Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, the hill forts of Maiden Castle and Hod Hill, Abbotsbury Castle and sub tropical gardens, Wareham forest, Sherborne Castle, Portland castle and sculpture park.

Many famous people have lived in Dorset including Thomas Hardy, Ian Fleming, Douglas Adams and the inventor of the World Wide Web Tim Berners Lee, who lived in Colehill near Wimborne.

I went on a family holiday to Bournemouth for a week a few years ago and my memories are of a relaxing time spent on the lovely golden sands. You can learn more about Bournemouth and other Dorset resorts in the articles below and check out the free downloadable Bournemouth travel guide.
