Itinerary

Day 1 -

Departing from our local area, we journey south with a suitable comfort break en route before arriving at the Hotel Rex in Weymouth.

Day 2 -

After breakfast we have a morning free to do as you please. In the afternoon, we have a full tour to the Isle of Portland and its harbour. This unique tide island marks the southernmost point on the Jurassic Coast and is joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach, an 18 mile long shingle barrier beach stretching from West Bay to Portland and is one of Dorset’s most iconic landmarks.

Day 3 -

Departing the hotel after breakfast, we enjoy a Dorset Village tour to Bridport and West Bay, a charming fishing village located on one of the most dramatic stretches of the Jurassic Coast, offering some stunning landscapes to explore with breath-taking views from the cliff tops surrounding the village. It has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years thanks to ITV’s smash hit Drama, Broadchurch, starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman being filmed here. Returning to the hotel via a scenic coastal drive and Abbotsbury Swannery, the only managed colony of free-flying mute swans in the world

Day 4 -

Departing the hotel we journey towards Purbeck Hills, offering views of the Famous White Horse, before heading to Dorchester, a charming county town where we make a break. Leaving Dorchester we continue our journey via Poundbury, an urban extension to the town of Dorchester, now owned by the Duke of Cornwall, Prince William.
