About Dorset
A Slice Of Heaven On Earth
If you have ever dreamed of finding a place that appeals to your interests in history and science, your sense of beauty, and your idea of a postcard-perfect England, Dorset is it. It is famous for its Jurassic past and literary heritage, and has inspired prominent authors such as Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen, and T.E. Lawrence (widely known as Lawrence of Arabia).
In Dorset, you will find stunning villages, lively towns, breath-taking panoramic views, and a dramatic coastal line. Dorset is also a favourite seaside destination in England, and the second wealthiest county in the UK for property wealth after Surrey in Southeast England.
Dorset is the best place to live in the UK
Some famous towns in Dorset include Shaftesbury, Corfe Castle, Lyme Regis, Milton Abbas, Weymouth, Burton Bradstock and Cerne Abbas.
Dorset is the best place to live in the UK, with beautiful rolling countryside, the magnificent Jurassic Coast, great forests to wander through and many beautiful long beaches.
Some beaches include Weymouth, Swanage Beach, and Chesil Beach, which is the most picturesque beach you have ever seen. Covered by trillions of pebbles, it looks like an enormous dune and stretches eighteen miles down Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.
The best view of Chesil Beach is at the top of the Isle of Portland. From this high vantage point, you can see how long and wide this beach is. It is like a tall barrier, a natural dam that separates the cold waters of the English Channel from the lush hills of Dorset.
The Perfect Destination For You
Let us say you have ever dreamed of seeing and experiencing England, as they described it in the books of centuries ago. With the thatched cottages, the blooming gardens, the dramatic nature, and the polite conversation that have shaped England in the collective mind of those who read and love books, Dorset is the perfect destination for you.
It is the England of the long-ago dreams and everything you read about. It is an England that is difficult to find nowadays in the large English cities. An England that you will be forgiven to think may never have existed outside the pages of the books of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, etc., which you read and cherished. But here in Dorset, that is exactly the England that awaits you.
