Dorset is home to many cultural and historical attractions. Also, one cannot deny the fact that some of the best coastlines in the United Kingdom are in this English country located in the southwest. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door should be the top two items on your itinerary if you want to experience Dorset’s finest places on the Jurassic Coast. A day at the beach is best spent on Chesil Bank, which is also a prime destination for anglers. Dorset is largely rural, and you have the option to book a vacation accommodation that brings you closer to the countryside. Check out our list of the best log cabins in Dorset, UK.
