10 FEATURE MUHIBAH DORSET The ‘South Wessex’ of Thomas Hardy’s novels, Dorset remains the absolute Hardy country at every twist and turn. From crooked thatched cottages whose quiet lanes seemed untouched by time to delightful coastal and inland scenery with dense forest and wild fl owers, Dorset is rural English at its best. The area is also home to Jurassic Coast, England’s fi rst natural World Heritage Site, where an afternoon can be spent scouring for primeval fossils. Dorset’s chalky hills also make for an eye catching, visual feast and splendid sights of the channel while the rocky peninsula of Portland Bill, that extends south into the channel and connects to the mainland via the shingle bank known as Chesil Bank, is just breathtaking. Modern Dorset offers outings to the beach at Bournemouth where you can surf on Europe’s fi rst artifi cial reef or, learn to sail in Poole Harbour, one of the largest and shallowest natural harbours in the world. End your visit by dropping by at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage for his amazing homegrown food. www.visit-dorset.com
STRATFORD-UPON-AVON William Shakespeare’s birthplace still metes out gems of surprises. Situated on the River Avon in the Heart of England, this is also home to the Royal Shakespeare Company, fi ve historic houses linked to the Bard and the spellbinding Warwick Castle. The easiest way to discover Stratford is through the open-top bus tour that departs the Tourist Information Centre at regular intervals. Hop-on or hop-off as you wish as the coach makes a one-hour loop through many interesting sights. Enjoy a gentle cruise down the Avon River, then explore the charming surroundings of Anne Hathaway’s cottage, where she was wooed by the young Shakespeare. Even if you’re not a fan, catch at least one Royal Shakespeare Company production for its sterling performances – you’ll be left inspired! For something a little off the wall, try a Spooky Ghost Tour of Stratford or visit the city’s most haunted museum, the Creaky Cauldron. www.visitstratforduponavon.co.uk MAY | JUNE 2011 11
