Things to Do and Places to Go in Dorset

One of the things we love most about Dorset, is that although it is a seaside town, the sun doesn't have to be shining to enjoy all the things to do and places to see in Dorset.

There are so many things to do for free in Dorset including visiting one of the many stunning beaches from Bournemouth Pier to Sandbanks, vast parks including Poole Park and Upton Park to bracing walks on the jurassic coast, plus the free museums in Dorset are a must.

We know it can be a little difficult to find the best places to visit in Dorset as there are so many so we have wrapped up all the best things to do and see in Dorset, including all of Dorsets local events all here in our Entertainment guide.
