Day 1

We travel to Dorset, making comfort stops en route.

Day 2

Lyme Regis & West Bay
Today we head to the historic coastal resort of Lyme Regis, home to the famous Cobb and harbour. After our visit here, we move to West Bay. There's plenty to do at West Bay, take a stroll around the harbour for an ice cream or fish and chips, climb the coast path up to the top of the cliffs, hire a rowing boat up the River Brit or join a fishing trip out from the harbour, all the ingredients for a chilled out day on the coast.

Day 3

Dorchester & Weymouth
This morning we visit nearby Dorchester, the county town of Dorset and the fictional 'Casterbridge' of Thomas Hardy's novels. After free time here, we head to Weymouth with its fine Georgian seafront and award-winning beach. Be sure to visit the picturesque and traditional 17th century harbour, alive with colour and activity.

Day 4

Sherborne & Shaftesbury
Our day begins with a drive to Sherborne, without doubt one of England's most beautiful towns, with an abundance of medieval buildings, a superb Abbey, Almshouse and two castles. From here we make our way to Shaftesbury, an ancient hilltop town and famous for the cobbled Gold Hill, star of the Hovis adverts.

Day 5

After breakfast, we leave and head for home.
