Discover Dorset Ltd

The rural county of Dorset is stunning; the countryside and coast are considered by many to be some of the prettiest and most dramatic in England. Only two hours from London, it offers British and overseas visitors a chance to experience the England of old, unspoilt rolling countryside, small villages and an abundance of wildlife. And yet.....all too often, visitors find themselves in Bournemouth and then get stuck, either because they have no transport or they are not too sure where to head for. In the summer the roads can get very busy, the car parks are full, and the crowds can be off-putting. Discover Dorset was set up with the main aim being to help visitors get out and experience the best of this beautiful area. This had to be done in a way that showed visitors all the highlights, and also included some of the places most visitors miss. It should be safe, comfortable, convenient, affordable and at the same time limiting the environmental impact on the area
