RecreationYou will see from the list we have gathered below, that West Dorset has plenty to offer both on the recreation and sporting front! West Dorset is almost entirely designated an Area Of Outstanding Beauty, covering over 400 square miles. It includes Sherborne to the north, Dorchester to the east and Lyme Regis to the west with glorious coast and countryside in-between. The towns and villages of West Dorset brim with fascinating historical tales.
There are over 150 villages in West Dorset, each with its own history, mystery, character and charm. Villages like Abbotsbury with its Swannery and bracing views across Chesil Beach, plus Evershot, Nettlecombe and Cerne Abbas, famed for its ruined Abbey and chalk Giant. At the heart of villages like these, you’ll find Norman churches, sandstone cottages, tempting tea rooms, good pub food, small stores selling local produce and a warm welcome everywhere. West Dorset is rich in artistic wealth too. Local arts centres and theatres provide a vibrant performing, visual and literary arts programme that caters for all tastes. A region of temperate climes, gentle downlands and sweeping coastlines, West Dorset is also home to a variety of high quality producers of delicious food and drink. I hope that you find the list below useful and do let us know if we have missed anything!!? Places to Visit Abbotsbury
