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.
