Short Breaks
Foodie Weekend
Dorset has a long tradition of producing some of the very best food in the country, with its coastal waters full of fish, crab and lobsters, the downlands perfect for rearing sheep and the vales full of small dairies producing wonderful local cheese. New producers are reviving many a lost art and the county is full of modern cider orchards, micro-breweries, vinyards and interesting restuarants. Foodie heaven! Itinerary will vary depending on course availability for your dates.
