There are many beautiful seaside and inland towns and villages in the county of Dorset, home to a number of hidden gems, from little trinket shops, antique emporiums alongside charming family run pubs, restaurants and cafes. This makes Dorset a perfect seaside retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
