Places to Visit during Autumn Holidays in Dorset
If you’re booking an autumn break in Dorset, you’ll find a brilliant range of places to explore right on your doorstep.
One popular spot is Lyme Regis, found on the county’s western edge and just a short 25-minute drive from many of these properties.
