About the Region

Dorset is rich in heritage and its historical roots run deep, beyond Anglo Saxon and Roman influences, earlier even than Iron Age! West Dorset is a unique part of the country, with a magnificent coastline of some 25 miles made up entirely of rocks formed some 1160 million years ago. Designated a UK World Heritage Site due to its Jurassic heritage the coastline ensures some fantastic fossil hunting opportunities. The area’s landscape is made up of undulating wooded countryside and the flat expanse of the Blackmore Vale. The impressive Iron Age hill fort of Maiden Castle stands on the outskirts of Dorchester and the defences visible today date from around 800BC. The inland scenery is equally inviting and has some of the finest country homes and gardens in the south. The area is rich in archaeological remains, along with unspoilt rural villages set in lovely countryside, with ancient hedgerows and winding country lanes this is perfect walking territory where one can spend many hours exploring the maze of footpaths, cycle routes, coastal and woodland trails and bridleways. In the east there are extensive heath lands, whilst the chalk downs in the centre of Dorset is criss-crossed by rivers and streams. Discover seaside towns and villages including the picturesque, yet bustling resorts of West Bay where the views are quite remarkable along with Charmouth and Lyme Regis which offer the widest range of holiday activities: paddling in the sea, fishing trips, windsurfing, strolls along the proms to mention just a few! Some areas permit dogs on beaches all year round.
