For an unforgettable staycation this Spring, whisk your loved ones away for the May bank holiday in Dorset. With its sleepy countryside, blooming with colours, and stunning coast, Dorset is a fantastic destination.

Why spend the May Bank Holiday in Dorset?

The stunning landscape of Dorset offers adventure for the whole family. Avid walkers can explore the Jurassic Coast and discover quiet coves on the way. Spend the day on golden, sandy beaches backed by sand dunes; here, the young ones can hunt for fossils. 

You can also join in exciting water sports activities, with kayaking, surfing and kite-flying. When inland, be sure to visit the National Trust sites for family events. Venture to the opulent Kingston Lacey for a host of activities or discover Max Gate and Corfe Castle.

Places to visit on your May Bank Holiday in Dorset

With a May bank holiday in Dorset, you’re never short on things to see and do. Fill your day with fun at the vibrant town of Bridport, well-known for its electric art scene. Close by is the picturesque town of West Bay, which is a superb base to see the Jurassic Coast. 

Next on the list is the seaside town of Lyme Regis, where you can enjoy strolls along the Cobb harbour with fish and chips. Lyme Regis rests close to the border of Dorset, so why not cross over to Devon to explore further?
