Days out in Dorset

But if that’s not enough to satisfy your little darlings, this scenic South West county also has Peppa Pig World (beloved of a certain B. Johnson), the Badger Watch centre and the Tank Museum.

Is there anything for adults here at all?

Don’t sweat it. Lyme Regis has scenic hotels and fab food. You can go ghost hunting or beach-combing at Weymouth. And DNA Bar in Bournemouth has banging Hip-Hop and R&B. Or how about hanging out with a 180ft high man in his birthday suit at Cerne Abbas?

Dinosaurs. Badgers. Buff-naked giants. How can you possibly be bored in Dorset?
