Weymouth and Delightful Dorset

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to Weymouth for a four-night stay.

A resort for all seasons, Poole is a home to award-winning beaches and a historic old town with sea-faring tales to be told.

Later in the day we'll continue to seaside Swanage, passing through quaint Corfe Castle on the way. Swanage has lots of attractions including the Swanage Museum (entry not included), which tells the story of the area from the Jurassic period to World War II.

Today we travel to Dorchester, the county town of Dorset and the birthplace of author Thomas Hardy.

We'll continue to Bridport, a vibrant town with a fascinating antiques quarter, before following the coast along magnificent Chesil Beach and calling at Abbotsbury. This historic village sits in a secluded valley, sheltered by the Ridgeway Hills and there is a range of interesting and independent shops to be discovered here, along with charming cafés and eateries.

Relax and explore Weymouth at leisure. With award-winning beaches, Georgian grandeur and a bustling harbour, there's so much to see and do!

Or, perhaps join our optional excursion to Bournemouth – one of Britain's best-loved holiday resorts with a multitude of attractions, sandy beaches and a glorious pier. Nestled in a sheltered bay on the South Coast, Bournemouth boasts museums, galleries, activities, sightseeing and and plenty of shopping.
