Dorset, as famous novelist Thomas Hardy put it is ‘partly real and partly a dream country’ and in many ways outside the jurisdiction of the world; untamed, unspoilt and under the radar. Indeed, Dorset’s idyllic nature has been preserved by its distance from the capital (2 to 2 and half hours’ drive) and the saving grace of having no motorways, or cities but instead a vast sweep of patchwork country and uninterrupted, undulating landscape.
