You will be met with the traditional delights of the English seaside and award-winning parks and gardens as well as interesting shops and a leisurely atmosphere along with the contrasting countryside of Dorset on your doorstep too!

Itinerary
Excursions
FULL DAY: A full day along the Jurassic Coast today to visit the twin resorts of Seaton and Sidmouth. First to Seaton, at the mouth of the River Axe, where it is possible to ride on the resort’s unique tramway, or perhaps stroll beside the many colourful beach huts adorning the seafront. We continue on this afternoon to the elegant resort of Sidmouth with its air of opulence and where the beach is set between spectacular cliffs that line the Jurassic Heritage Coast.
FULL DAY: We start our day on the neighbouring island of Portland, linked to the mainland across Portland Harbour, to take in spectacular views across Chesil Beach, before we head inland to visit the handsome county town of Dorchester - famous for being portrayed as ‘Casterbridge’ in Thomas Hardy’s novels.
HALF DAY: Today we meander through the Dorset countryside, past picturebook Corfe Castle, to spend some time in the small seaside resort of Swanage, which has a lovely sandy beach and some fine cliff scenery.
