Dorchester
Vibrant Dorchester is not only Dorset's county town but also the birthplace of famous author and poet Thomas Hardy. The town enjoys a rich history dating back as far as the Iron Age and following a multi-million pound development, the excellent Dorset Museum is a major cultural attraction which traces 250 million years of Dorset's history (entrance included). Thomas Hardy fans will of course, know Dorchester as 'Casterbridge' and can hunt down the Mayor of Casterbridge locations tucked away in the modern Dorchester's streets. For those looking to get on top of the Christmas shopping, there are many well-known high street brands alongside small, independent shops, selling everything from Dorset's local produce to clothing, jewellery, antiques and unusual gifts. There is a central pedestrianised area with three arcades - Hardye, Tudor and Antelope Walk as well as the big brand names at Brewery Square.
