Dorset
The county of Dorset is in the South West of England on the
channel coast. Although largely a rural area, you will find
several holiday resorts in dorset including Bournemouth,
Poole, Weymouth, Swanage, and Lyme Regis.
Other Dorset attractions include: Jurassic Coast World
Heritage Site, the hill forts of Maiden Castle and Hod Hill,
Abbotsbury Castle and sub tropical gardens, Wareham forest,
Sherborne Castle, Portland castle and sculpture park.
Many famous people have lived in Dorset including Thomas
Hardy, Ian Fleming, Douglas Adams and the inventor of the World
Wide Web Tim Berners Lee, who lived in Colehill near
Wimborne.
I went on a family holiday to Bournemouth for a week a few
years ago and my memories are of a relaxing time spent on the
lovely golden sands. You can learn more about Bournemouth and
other Dorset resorts in the articles below and check out the
