Excursion 1 – Blandford Forum & Dorchester
Our day begins in the charming Blandford Forum 🏞️, a beautiful Georgian market town with elegant architecture and a welcoming atmosphere. You might enjoy a gentle stroll along the River Stour, explore the historic market square, or wander through the town’s independent shops and hidden courtyards. The riverside meadows also offer peaceful walking spots for those who love nature.
We then continue to Dorchester, Dorset’s historic county town, with its mix of heritage, gardens, and cultural charm. Take a walk through Borough Gardens 🌸, admire the impressive town architecture, or explore the pedestrianised high street. Dorchester is also surrounded by scenic trails, perfect for a short stroll before we head back.
Excursion 2 – Weymouth
Today we visit the award-winning seaside resort of Weymouth 🏖️, famous for its golden sandy beach and picturesque harbour. You could take a leisurely walk along the promenade, watch the boats in the harbour, or enjoy the lively atmosphere of the quayside cafés and shops.
For a peaceful escape, stroll through Greenhill Gardens 🌺, which offers colourful floral displays and stunning sea views. The wide, flat beachfront is perfect for walking, relaxing, or simply soaking up the holiday atmosphere before we return to Bournemouth.
