Dorset

Dorset is a county in South West England, celebrated for its dramatic coastline which forms part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching 95 miles and exposing 185 million years of geological history. Iconic landmarks include the natural limestone arch of Durdle Door and the tombolo of Chesil Beach. The county's interior is a landscape of chalk downland, ancient hillforts, and pastoral valleys, most famously associated with the novels of Thomas Hardy. Dorchester serves as the county town.
