Self-catering holiday accommodation in Dorset
Dorset, in the centre of southern England, is a county with scenic countryside and a wonderful wild coastline. Go inland for charming English villages with their wealth of historical monuments and old villages noted in the Domesday book. People love England for its centuries of recorded history and preserved buildings.
The beaches and seaside towns of Dorset such as Lyme Regis and Weymouth are a great favourite with British holidaymakers. Children love those rock pools where they can search all day for crustaceans and dig up the beach. The New Forest where the ponies graze contentedly and American redwoods surprise visitors are within driving distance for a day out.
Fascinating holidays in Dorset
Dorset is where the Black death is presumed to have started, carried by rats on board a boat in Melcombe Regis. Dorset beaches are historically good places to look for fossils. These can be found on the beaches when released from the cliffs by erosion. Interesting pebbles with a hole through them, called Hag pebbles can be found on Chesil beach, where there is also a Chesil Beach Centre with interactive displays about the geology of the region.
Evidence of prehistoric man can be seen on many hilltops in the form of burial mounds. Find the remains of the Iron Age, Normans and Romans.
