    Make sure you go via Abbotsbury on the coast road and not the A35.

    Or get the X53 open top bus from Weymouth to Bridport. Home to Palmers Brewery. The Ropemakers in the High Street serves a good selection of local ales.

    Visit the Isle of Portland. You can drive across the causeway. At the top of the hill park at The Heights Hotel and take in the view of 18 mile long Chesil Beach. Google Chesil Beach sunsets! Drive on to the end of the island to Portland Bill. Can't recommend the pub but the cafe has the best views, does a decent crab sandwichand and is licenced.

    All of this is within 30 mins drive of Dorchester.

    I could live here but it's a bit too far away from the likes of London and Brighton or anywhere else and I'd never get my wife away from the south east.
    And many thanks again 923. 😊

    Cheers Mike, thanks a lot. Yes, Hardy was on out list.

    We have had (almost) a week in Dorchester now, and it has been great.

    ”Al Molo” is a culinary gem, Italian & Seafood restaurant. Visited it twice.

    ”Convivial Rabbit” another gem, lots of interesting ales from local micro breweries. 5 visits I think.

    ”Blue Raddle”, says on sign, ”Open occasionally since 1850”, well, have to emphasize ”occasionally”, closed the whole week…

    Otherwise, the Jurassic Coast of course, Lyme Regis, West Bay.

    Caught a classic and super car show at Sherborne Castle.

    Cerne Abbas, Wimborne Minster, Wareham, Kingston Lacy, Corfe Castle and village (including railway between Corfe and Swanage).

    To Harwich tomorrow to catche the ferry to the Netherlands, than Hamburg for four days.

    My mate has booked Al Molo's for his birthday in August. Really looking forward to it after your review. He confirmed the landlord at The Convivial Rabbit (great name) is a Baggie and he did warn him him he might be getting a visit from a marauding Baggie supporting Swede.

    Glad you enjoyed it. I prefer it to Cornwall probably because I can be there in a couple of hours not half a day.

    Oh dear, I should have known that in advance, and then worn a Baggie shirt. 😎😜🤣
