The Beautiful Dorset Coast
3 comments
Well, we finally made it to the coast. Exactly one year since we moved permanently to Dorset! Mind you, this time last year it started raining and it didn’t stop until May! Remember that? But today couldn’t have been more lovely. Poor Willow did struggle a bit in the heat though. We will have to be a bit more careful with the old girl from now on. It takes almost exactly an hour to get from our house to Lulworth Cove, and then it’s a mile over the hill from there to Durdle Door. You don’t have to walk, but it seemed like a good idea at the time!
From the top you can clearly see Portland Bill, the harbour and Weymouth in the distance. It really brings home how big the county is and what a far-reaching stretch of coastline. I really love the rolling hills and the chalk downs.
Next time Weymouth I think. But let’s hope it doesn’t end up being another year!

Wow it looks beautiful Karen! I couldn't have waited so long I must admit. It's a stunning area and so much on your doorstep, thanks for sharing..:)
Sheila, a gorgeous place to grow up. It made me smile reading Lilliput, I often call Lottie that as she's so small..:))

Thanks for sharing this Karen. I loved all your photos.
I hope it's not too long when you get to Weymouth.
Unfortunately too far for me to get to the south coast.

You did well to wait until now, Karen. We were there in April (thinking we’d beat the crowds) but everywhere was packed! It is a gorgeous coast … I knew it well as a teenager when my family lived in Lilliput, suburb of Poole, and we often went to Shell Bay and Studland: luckily quite empty in those days 🙂
