Dorchester is perfectly placed in the heart of Dorset. Surrounded by a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stunning countryside and awe inspiring coastline – there is plenty to see and do.
Our partners at Love Dorchester provide a comprehensive history of Dorchester and its role in prominent local and world events on their website alongside a list of things to do and see in the town.
