Activities/Attractions: Dorset is situated on the south coast of England, between Devon in the west and Hampshire in the east - much of the County is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Few major roads run through the county, allowing Dorset to retain much of its rural character and charm. Dorset is a delightful county, with a variety of contrasting landscapes, consisting of coastline with high cliffs, inland there are wooded hills and fertile valleys, rolling chalk hills and wild heath land.
Rolling hillsides, dramatic cliffs, sweeping beaches, sleepy villages, bustling towns, quiet countryside - West Dorset's charms are there for all to see. The area is bordered by the Jurassic Coastline of Lyme Regis, which was recently awarded the status of World Heritage Site for it’s outstanding natural beauty and historic fossil finds. Just 7 miles away, Lyme Regis is a great place to enjoy a day on the beach, or a delicious evening meal of local seafood.
Bridport is a vibrant town set amongst the West Dorset hills. It is particularly well known for its popular Farmer's Market and its passion and commitment for local and organic produce. The town has also been championed by TV chef Hugh Fernley Whittingstall in his River Cottage series.
- The quiet villages and rural market towns make for
great cycling
- If angling's more your sport, there's good
fishing from the Chesil Bank, the Cobb at Lyme Regis, the pier at
West Bay or offshore in deeper waters
- Inland, there are plenty of well-stocked lakes
providing endless hours of fishing pleasure
- Back on dry land, golf addicts have the challenge of
eleven West Dorset courses
- Horse riders have an excellent choice of riding centres
and stables from Abbotsbury to Sherbome, Osmington Mills to
Bridport
