Visiting

The County of Dorset

The Jurassic Coast is famous for its rugged natural history and significant cultural moments that make Dorset a stand-out destination to visit in the UK. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are just two of the natural coastal phenomena that attract thousands of visitors to the county every year. Guests can meander through Dorset’s unspoilt history while visiting Dorset’s unique attractions, from Corfe Castle and Swanage Railway to The Tank Museum and Dorchester’s Keep. Dorset’s vibrant literary history also invites travellers to discover the life of Thomas Hardy, who famously set many of his novels within our rolling hills.
