Wildlife
You’ll find something for all the family to enjoy in the beautiful Dorset countryside. The charming countryside has been designated as an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and it’s easy to see why...
Dorset’s Jurassic Coastline is a magnificent and varied landscape, waiting to be discovered. There are layers of rolling hills, chalk downlands, colourful heathlands, tranquil woodlands and water meadows behind the coastline too.
Dorset offers plenty of opportunities to get out and about and enjoy some fresh air and activities surrounded by some of Britain’s best countryside.
