Mad cows, constant rain, satanic goats, shotgun-wielding farmers, steak and kidney pie, pubs that fall silent when you push open the door.... Poppycock! Throw away those stereotypes - or rather burn them with some industrial cider - because the English countryside offers a many splendoured adventure. As it goes, if any single county deserves to be crowned king, then Dorset is a top contender. With its lyrical landscapes, beguiling villages and epic coastline, Dorset takes some beating. So step onwards and dip into a world that inspired both Thomas Hardy and modern day master Ian McEwan. Dorset is a diamond that deserves to be discovered.

At Dorset Life, we've gone out cherry-picking for all the best that the county has to offer. If you're looking for pubs or restaurants, we've got you well covered. And whether it's a cosy B&B you're after or a country house hotel with all the trimmings, click onwards for some top tips. Dorset Life also brings you a cavalcade of cultural hotspots from across the county, plus a monthly event calendar. You can keep track of what's happening in Dorset with our nifty news portal, or swot up on background knowledge with our potted history.
