Visit historic Dorchester, the county town of Dorset. The birthplace of author and poet Thomas Hardy, the town enjoys a rich history dating back as far as the Iron Age. Explore at leisure before we make our way to the coast and visit pretty West Bay which is situated on the Jurassic Coast. The towering cliffs loom over the sea and this was the setting of TV’s popular mystery drama Broadchurch. We return to Weymouth following the route of Chesil Beach, an 18-mile shingle barrier beach and one of Dorset’s most iconic landmarks./n
