With its stunning landscape and UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast, Dorset is well worth a visit whether you’re looking for a fun-filled adventure or a more laid back affair
Home to the iconic Jurassic Coast, which begins in Exmouth in neighbouring East Devon and stretches 95 miles to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, Dorset boasts some of the UK’s most stunning clifftop walks, breathtaking beaches and picturesque countryside. The south-west location is one of the only counties in the UK without a motorway and is full of vibrant seaside towns, historic landmarks and golden sands.
It’s glam by day and night There’s nothing like rounding off a day trip to one of Dorset's glorious beaches with a sweet cocktail or a gin or tonic . And while the beach at West Bexington may be pebbly it’s worth a visit for boujie The Club House alone. Here, you’ll find chilled vibes, delicious cocktails – the gin-based Fireball is a must – and a garden that will keep your little ones occupied for hours.
After that, take a wander down St Alban Street to pick up foodie souvenirs and local crafts in artisan shops such as Roly’s Fudge Pantry. Along the sea wall you’ll find Les Enfants Terribles, where chef and owner Eric Tavernier prepares seafood straight from the harbourside for dishes that zing with freshness. Our picks from the small but perfectly formed menu were the Dorset snails, whole baked sea bass – Eric’s speciality – and family-style apple crumble to share for pud.
Offering uninterrupted views along 60 miles of coastline, a stunning terrace where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets and exceptionally comfortable interiors, we couldn’t fault it. Every little detail is considered – from board games and crabbing kits for the kids to a wine fridge for the grown-ups.
