Discover Dorset
Dorset has it all—stunning countryside, spectacular coastline, vibrant events, and historic attractions.
Much of the coastline forms part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, renowned for dramatic cliffs, fossil-rich beaches, and geological wonders. Inland, over half of the county is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with rolling hills, charming villages, and peaceful walking trails.
Top highlights include Lulworth Cove and the iconic Durdle Door, the medieval Corfe Castle, and the scenic Purbeck Hills. Families and walkers will enjoy traffic-free paths, coastal trails, and nature reserves, while adventure seekers can try fossil hunting, kayaking, or cliff-top hikes.
Dorset enjoys higher summer temperatures than Devon and Cornwall, making it perfect for beach days, outdoor adventures, and exploring all the county has to offer.
