  • Dorset & the Jurassic Coast
    Dorset & the Jurassic Coast Dorset, on the south coast of Britain is well worth a visit if you’re interested in beautiful landscapes and dramatic coastlines. Over half the county is designated ‘an area of outstanding beauty’ and three quarters of the coastline is classed as a world heritage site. There are no motorways in Dorset, so you will have time to take in the scenery as you meander through rolling hills and picture perfect villages. The coastline has many things to offer. From Chesil Beach, the 18 mile long stretch of pebbles that has protection for its wildlife, to the limestone arches of Durdle Dor, part of the Lulworth Estate. How about letting the kids search for fossils in the limestone cliffs near Lyme Regis or letting them run amok at Maiden Castle, an Iron Age hill fort near Dorchester or Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck that was built by William the Conqueror. If you feel like a little nightlife, you could visit Bournemouth or Poole in the east of the County. Places to visit Corfe Castle One of Britain’s most iconic and evocative survivors of the English Civil War, partially demolished in 1646 by the Parliamentarians. Discover 1,000 years of our history as a royal palace and fortress. The Square, Corfe Castle, Wareham, BH20 5EZ www.nationaltrust.org.uk/corfe-castle Tel: 01929 481 294 Purbeck Shooting School Purbeck Shooting School established in 1995 and occupies one of the best sites in the UK and has been voted as the best shooting ground in the UK with over 50 acres of naturalistic ground on site.
