Gold - Beautiful Bournemouth And The Best Of Dorset | 2027

Itinerary

Excursions

Your Itinerary:

FULL DAY: The New Forest & Salisbury
This marvellous full-day excursion heads off via the back roads and lanes of the New Forest, with its famous ponies and elusive deer, to Salisbury, famous for its magnificent Gothic cathedral and tallest spire in England. The grid-like streets, with their black and white half-timbered houses, are a joy to explore.

HALF DAY: Poole Harbour Cruise
Today we start at Poole, where we include a harbour cruise before enjoying free time in the resort itself. This lovely town serves as a ferry port and departure point for the National Trust’s Brownsea Island, with its role as an affluent residential town and holiday centre.

FULL DAY: Weymouth & Dorchester
We soon reach the handsome county town of Dorchester. This delightful town is famous as the home of Thomas Hardy and depicted in his novels as ‘Casterbridge’. This afternoon, we make our way to the coast and the seaside resort of Weymouth, with its lovely sandy beach, miles of level promenade and colourful working harbour.
