Dorset is the perfect place for a long weekend and this escape takes you to see the highlights of the county. You will be staying at the spiritual heart of the county in the village of Cerne Abbas, renowned for its enormous chalk figure carved into the hillside and folklore traditions. You will visit the vibrant town of Bridport for its Saturday market, West Bay which was made famous by the detective series Broadchurch, iconic Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove and historic Corfe Castle with its towering castle ruins. And we'll make sure there is time for afternoon tea and stops at historic inns along the way.
