Dorset Things to do

ChelseaFan_2

Nice pubs in Portland
The Electric Palace
Fishing
Squash Courts

If you make it a boring place and you have no intention of doing anything about it then I would keep it shut.

Don't tell me - Your one of those people that sit there and say everyone moans about everything and then does nothing about it???

I went to a pub on Portland about 3 weeks ago and have to say it was the worst food I'd ever eaten, and £2.80 for a 250ml Appletise....

Does Dunstable?



My apologies to anyone in Dunstable, I'm just trying to prove a point that people in Dorset are very very proud of God's back garden

As someone who was born in Dunstable and brought up in Dorset I know which one I prefer - the clue is I still live in Dorset. The rolling hills of Dunstable Downs and the forest around Ashridge are quite nice though.

went to dorset last year and thought it was fab, we live in york and have our fair share of visitors so we like going elsewhere to be irritating tourists lol

As one of the pesky tourists from Australia, we loved Dorset on our two past visits and will back in two years time with the kids - greatly looking forward to spending another week there. In particular, great fans of the Great Dorset Steam Fair which is the largest and most magnificent event of its type in the world. We didn't meet anyone but lovely people who were only too happy to help us or draw maps for us or just sit and chat - no unhappy tourist stories to report whatsoever.

Poole Shopmobility does days out, where they take a lorry full of wheelchairs to various venues to hire out for the day if that helps.

Poole is excellent - The town centre is flat and has some fascinating shops.
