Dorset is set to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK this year and when you look a little closer on the map, it’s easy to see why.
Dorset is home to many famous landmarks and heritage sites and then of course there are the famous sandy beaches. The Jurassic Coast stretches down 95 miles of the English Channel and was named England’s first natural World Heritage site in 2001. But if breathtaking scenery and million year old fossils aren’t your thing then don’t worry because the beaches also provide access to some fantastic water sports for people of all ages and abilities, whether it’s a high octane Jet Ski ride or a relaxed tootle around in a pedalo.
And for those of you who are old enough to indulge in a little bit of nostalgia there’s also ‘that hill’ – the scene of that famous Hovis bread advert of the early seventies, which now plays host to the annual Gold Hill Fair. The fair brings a range of activities and shopping stalls to the area over one weekend in the summer.
There is really only one way to sample the county of Dorset however and that’s in a traditional Dorset cottage. Staying in a Dorset cottage puts this magnificent place quite literally on your doorstep. The quaint coastal villages and market towns have hundreds of cottages available for rent, all of which have a certain character about them.
The dog walkers amongst you will be pleased to know that many of the cottages, particularly those near the coast and on hiking routes are pet friendly so you can bring them along with you, and you should because they will enjoy it almost as much as you will.
One last tip…there really is so much to see and do so just be sure to book a long enough stay, even if it’s to just recover from your holiday.
