No trip to Dorset is complete without a trip to the stunning coastline. Not only will you find miles and miles of sandy beaches, but Dorset is also home to the Jurassic Coast, a natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the iconic natural limestone arch at Durdle Door to the stunning Lulworth Cove and striking chalk sea stacks at Old Harry Rocks, the coastline here offers more than simply bucket and spade days on the beach. It is possible to charter a private yacht or cruise where you can soak up the glorious coastline in style. Or for breathtaking aerial views of the coastline, you can take a private motorglider tour over the Jurassic Coast. If you would rather keep your feet firmly on the ground why not hire a luxury wood fired sauna on the beach at Lyme Regis to make a dip in the sea that little bit more tempting!
If you are after some history and culture there is plenty to keep you entertained. Visit the elegant 17th-century Kingston Lacy House near Wimborne Minster where you will find the largest private collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts in the UK, or explore the beautiful Sherborne Castle and Gardens. The tranquil 26 acres of glorious countryside at Sculpture by the Lakes is perfect for a relaxed day out. Why not combine it with a trip to the award-winning sparkling wine producer Langham Wine Estate, or explore the boutique shops and fine dining in Dorchester.
