Dorset is a wonderful place to be, whether you live, work here or just paying the county a visit. Dorset is a county of outstanding natural beauty, a land of great contrast and breathtaking scenery. The literary heritage of Thomas Hardy ensures that many visitors from all over the world feel they already know the towns and the countryside, the people and their cultural past. The heritage coast stretches 88 miles from Christchurch in the east to Lyme Regis in the west, providing sandy beaches, sheltered harbours and busy ports. Further inland are a wealth of market towns, hidden villages, thatched cottages, narrow lanes and flowering hedgerows. Families will also find plenty of attractions to visit, and activities to enjoy. Cycling, horse riding, golf, fishing, and climbing are just a few of the many sports that are well catered for at all levels. If none of this catches your fancy then you can just walk and enjoy some of the most spectacular views in Britain.
