Dorset - July 2006

Just back from a terrific few days in Dorset. Although the drive down was wet and miserable the sun came out for the rest of the week.

When it comes to beautiful coastlines, Dorset can be proud; Durdle Dor, St Oswald's Bay and Lulworth Cove are all fantastic beaches. The only thing they lack is golden sand rather than pebbles.

We managed to visit a selection of neolithic sites such as Maiden Castle and Hellstone Dolmen near Dorchester. Also, Corfe and Lulworth castles (which are both ruinous for very different reasons) were each impressive. When you add our trips to Brownsea Island and the Stourhead Estate on the way home I think we must have walked a hundred miles between us.

We need another holiday now just to recuperate!
