Christchurch Harbour and Priory 

Discover 

Dorset... 

22

Tour this captivating 

unspoilt County; 

With picturesque countryside little 

changed from the times of author 

Thomas Hardy, the stunning World 

Heritage Jurassic Coast, resorts 

with sandy beaches, historic market 

towns and quaint villages, Dorset is 

England at its finest. 

Charming Christchurch has a 

fascinating heritage epitomised 

by its 900 year old Priory Church, 

Highcliffe Castle and the Norman 

Hall and Castle ruins. The 

picturesque harbour at the mouth of 

the Rivers Stour and Avon is perfect 

for fishing and watersports and 

Christchurch’s lovely natural beaches 

and attractions ensure its popularity 

with all age groups. 

Visitors to Swanage and the Isle of 

Purbeck can enjoy fantastic sandy 

beaches and breathtaking views 

over the Jurassic Coast from the 

South West Coast Path. Durlston 

Country Park and Wareham Forest 

are the perfect places to discover rich 

wildlife, flora and fauna and there 

are renowned attractions to explore; 

Monkey World, the Tank Museum 

and Swanage Railway. 

Go fossil hunting at Charmouth 

along the Jurassic Coast in 

West Dorset or marvel at the 

natural phenomenon of Chesil 

Beach and the Fleet, home to 

hundreds of swans and cygnets 

at Abbotsbury Swannery. 

Discover Dorchester, once 

home to Thomas Hardy, or 

soak up the atmosphere at the 

Lyme Regis Jazz Festival, by the 

harbourside in West Bay or at 

Sherborne’s famous Abbey and 

Castle. 

The rugged coastline of 

Portland with its famous 

‘Bill’ is a contrast to the safe, 

shallow waters of Weymouth 

and the traditional harbour 

where the day’s catch is 

delivered by trawlers. The area 

offers exceptional watersports 

opportunities for all, it is also 

the setting for numerous 

events and festivals and home 

to a rich variety of flora and 

fauna. 

Dorset’s mild climate is great 

for gardens and many of the 

magnificent manor houses, for 

which Dorset is famed, have 

marvellous gardens to explore. 

The county is a treasure trove 

of arts and foods - work up an 

appetite by taking part in one 

of many activities available, 

from walking and cycling, to 

windsurfing and kayaking – 

delightful Dorset offers so many 

wonderful opportunities 

to escape, explore and enjoy!

Finding your 

accommodation 

Your accommodation is an 

important part of your holiday. 

All of our B&Bs, farmhouses, 

inns, self-catering properties 

and touring parks offer a warm 

welcome and excellent service. 

All the properties 

featured in this 

brochure meet the 

standards set by the Dorset 

Approved Visitor Accommodation 

Scheme, which is accredited by 

VisitEngland. 

Many of the 

properties have 

undertaken a 

more complete 

assessment as part of the 

National Quality Assurance 

Scheme operated by VisitEngland 

and the AA. These schemes use 

a star rating system of 1-5 stars; 

all rating levels offer clean, well- 

run accommodation with 5 stars 

indicating an exceptional degree 

of luxury. 

Under the AA scheme, 

Gold Stars are awarded 

to the best guest 

accommodation within the 

3, 4 and 5 star ratings. 

The VisitEngland 

scheme awards 

Gold and Silver to 

those that deliver 

a standard of 

service over and above 

their rating and the 

Breakfast Award to those 

whose breakfasts are of 

exceptional quality. 

Some properties offer facilities 

particularly suited to visitors 

with special needs and these 

are recognised with the relevant 

symbols. 

A separate guide for visitors 

with special needs is available 

from Wimborne 

Tourist Information Centre 

(see back cover for details). 

Some properties offer additional 

services or facilities for walkers, 

cyclists, families or pets and 

have been thus awarded.

Shaftesbury... 

The hilltop town of 

Shaftesbury, at 700ft, is 

Dorset’s highest town 

and offers stunning views 

over the surrounding 

countryside. 

Its unique location inspired 

Kings to settle here; its 

Saxon Benedictine Abbey 

was founded in 888AD by 

King Alfred. Soak up the 

atmosphere in the Abbey 

ruins or stroll the cobbles 

of one of England’s most 

iconic streets, Gold Hill, 

famous by virtue of a loaf 

of bread!
