Dorset is a beautiful county along the South coast of England, famed for its stunning Jurassic coastline, its classic British seaside resorts such as the historic towns of Weymouth and Bournemouth, and its gentle green rolling hills and countryside. Over half of the county of Dorset is in fact designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
There are many picturesque villages peppered throughout the beautiful Dorset landscape, such as the pretty village of Abbotsbury with its famous historic swannery, the village of Cerne Abbas, which is famed for its incredible chalk man etched into the nearby hillside, and many more picturesque villages throughout the county, all unique in their own special way.
Dorset also has some lovely market towns to explore, such as the county town of Dorchester - home town of the famous novelist and poet Thomas Hardy. There is the beautiful hilltop town of Shaftesbury with its amazing view described as “the most romantic view in England”, and the town of Blandford Forum - the most complete Georgian town in England, plus many more fascinating towns throughout this historic county.
