Dorset: home of the Jurassic Coastline, beautiful beaches, historical gems, countryside retreats and more. So why should you visit Dorset this summer?

 

The Sights

 

The Jurassic Coastline hosts some of the most beautiful coastal sights. From the famous natural arch formation at Durdle Door and nearby coves to Chesil beach – the UK’s largest tombolo at 18 miles long (“tombolo” being a geographical formation which connects one stretch of land to another). It was at Dorset (West Bay) where the famous Broadchurch series was filmed and Lulworth Cove where one of the final scenes of World War Z featuring Brad Pitt was shot.

The Jurassic Coastline is not the only must-see, there are incredible historical sights which include 1,000 year old castles such as Corfe Castle and old celtic forts, such as Maiden Castle, which boast the most beautiful scenic 360° view.

If that’s not enough, the famous English novelist Thomas Hardy, was born and raised in Dorchester, Dorset and wrote about the stunning views around North Dorset. And whilst we are discussing North Dorset, we cannot forget the infamous Gold Hill at Shaftsbury – a famous cobbled street which was even featured on a Hovis advert. 

 

Eco Retreats

 

Dorset can be a great place for an eco-holiday. Not only are there numerous travel options from trains, busses and amazing cycling locations which can reduce your carbon footprint but also there are numerous ‘eco’-holiday retreats and b&bs awaiting you to settle in.

An example of which is the Whitestones Art Retreat: a quirky, self-sustaining, solar powered holiday home at Portland which is available to rent on Airbnb. The Whitestones Art Retreat was bespokely designed with environmental health in mind and built by us at Huub. It is powered by the sun, heated using underfloor heating systems and hosts an air source heat pump.
