Dorset (Dorchester, Poole, Weymouth, Sherborne, Wimborne
Minster, Shaftesbury)
Dorset is a county of great beauty, a
land of contrast and breathtaking scenery. It is one of the maritime
counties of southern England, fronting the English Channel which
separates the United Kingdom from mainland Europe.
Its coastline extends some 140
kilometers from Lyme Regis in the west to Christchurch in the east,
and offers a selection of the finest sandy beaches to be found in
the British Isles.
 Further
to the south and east lie the Dorset Downs and Cranborne Chase -
both officially recognised as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty -
this is the country of high chalkland with hills approaching 1,000
ft.
An expansive landscape with panoramic
views from the Isle of Wight and the Purbeck Hills in the south to
the Mendips in the north. Fine country for walking, riding or just
picnicking and admiring the view from one of the many grassy areas
to which the public have access.
