About Dorset

A Rural Gem

Dorset is a small gem of a county encompassing all that is best in rural England: Rolling green hills, woodland and hedgerows running down to the sea, yet only 3 hours from London and the South-East. There are 90 miles of unspoiled coastline with dramatic cliff-top walks and good, safe beaches.

History at Every Turn

The small towns of rural Dorset have grown from the landscape over centuries and you will find history at every turn to inform and delight you. For the more energetic, footpaths and cycle-ways open up Dorset's secrets and the coast is always close at hand for water sport enthusiasts.
Virtually all the cottages are in traditional villages with a pub and a shop near at hand. These villages are graced by fine old buildings that Thomas Hardy would have known and immortalised in his books on Dorset.
