A trip to the county of Dorset would not be complete without visiting the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a number of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a picturesque walk around Maiden Castle or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland.
