If you can walk the South West Coastal Path from Swanage through to Devon or enjoy just parts. The view from Swyre Head, the beauty of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door the fossils at Burton Bradstock and Lyme Regis on a sunny day there's no better place in England. more

We spent our wedding anniversary weekend here in November last year, and discovered a peacfeul haven we hadn't dared hope for. The coastline is dramatic and truly breathtaking in its magnificence - but also completely unspoilt. This is raw nature - just along the coast from Bournemouth, Poole and the like, but almost on another planet. No shops, no beach... more

I am lucky enough to drive along a stretch of this coastline EVERY DAY! I drive from Weymouth to Bridport along the 'coast road' In the summer it can be difficult to concentrate on the road, the sheer beauty of the view on a summers evening takes my breath away, and in the winter when the skys are dark grey... more

The whole county has a strong Roman presence, as demonstrated by dozens of its village names, some now gone, as with the county town, now called Dorchester, but once known as Durnovaria. The... more

My most favorite place along this stretch is West Bay as it is a beautiful fishing village & I have had some of the best weekends of my... more

A fabulous walk in any kind of weather, assuming that you're waterproof! The views are outstanding and change with the progression along the path. The terrain is rough and walking shoes are, if not essential, at least recommended. You will long curse yourself if you don't take a camera! Can easily take a whole day or for the more adventurous... more
