Food, fun and friends
DORSET’S countless charms include the Jurassic Coast — a World Heritage site flecked with sea-carved bays, sandstone cliffs and beaches loaded with fossilised souvenirs. In the east of the county, Bournemouth is the star of the South Coast, with seven miles of golden sand and sparkling sea, plus a fantastic foodie scene, tropical gardens and a warm microclimate. For a great-value break this spring, stay at three-star Durley Grange Hotel in the prestigious West Cliff area, offering good food, a pool and friendly staff.
