Our area
Our stretch of the jurassic coast
takes in Lyme Regis in the west through to Charmouth, Bridport, West
Bay, Burton Bradstock and Abbotsbury, and along Chesil Beach to
Portland.
The stunning, quiet countryside
stretches from Lambert’s Castle and Forde Abbey in the west across
Marshwood Vale to Broadwindsor and Beaminster, and on to Evershot,
Maiden Newton, Cerne Abbas and Dorchester. But we often stray into
East Devon and South Somerset, as well as other parts of Dorset.
No fewer than
eight national trails criss-cross our area: East Devon Way, Jubilee
Trail, Liberty Trail, Macmillan Way, Monarch’s Way, River Parrett
Trail, South West Coast Path and Wessex Ridgeway.
Breathtaking views are provided by
countless rolling hills including: Golden Cap (the highest point on
England’s south coast), Thorncombe Beacon, Lambert’s
Pilsdon Pen, Eggardon Hill, Hardy’s Monument and Maiden Castle. Many are topped by iron-age hill forts.
