Dorset Country Side just a Delight

I visited the UK in mid May 2018 (Spring time). I travelled with Emirates Airlines as I love their seating and entertainment on-board the plane. Plus, they also offer a two-piece concept for my luggage which means that I can take my normal checked-in bag and my road bicycle (which is packed into a bike box). This trip I skipped visiting London for the very first time and I headed straight down to Dorset (South Western England). I stayed for two and half weeks in a little village named Lulworth Cove and I was so surprised at how beautiful this part of the country side is. Dorset has a wealth of historic Castles, fantastic English styled houses and gardens to explore, it has beautiful coast lines including Durdle Door which is a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is world renowned for being one of the richest heritage sites for its pre-historic remains. It’s possible to join a fossil hunting walk and you could find your very own piece of dinosaur, or even discover a new species!

As soon as I arrived I unpacked my road bike and over the next two weeks I got to explore some of the most beautiful scenery. While cycling and exploring, it felt like I was in a glossy magazine with the long green rolling hills, bluebell bedecked woodlands, open fields dotted with beautiful white wild flowers and slow running streams. It was just so beautiful and so difficult to explain in words, you have to be there to experience it.

My Recommendations: From my amazing experience I recommend when visiting England to consider visiting Dorset, it’s only a three-hour drive from London. It’s great for all types of travellers, from thrill seekers to soul searchers to gentle travellers. Dorset ticks all the boxes. I do recommend travelling from May through to September as this is their Spring / Summer time. I also recommend hiring a car and staying in accommodation based in either in Wool, Wareham or Lulworth Cove.

The type of itinerary I would suggest would be: Day 1: Visit parts of the Jurassic Coast which is a world heritage site namely Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door Day 2: Lulworth Castle and Tank Museum Day 3: Corfe Castle and Studland Beach Day 4: Monkey World (Sanctuary) Day 5: Swanage beach and Swanage Steam Train journey

That's just off the top of my head, there is so much more to visit for example the New Forest, Stone Henge and many other villages which you just can't miss out on.

Dorset Country side was such a delight and I can’t wait to go back next year. If you would like to visit then please get in touch with me.
