Dorset Activities

Dorset is a county full of fantastic contrasts, the magnificent Jurassic Coastline to calm picturesque countryside make it such a unique and exciting county to explore throughout the year. Explore and enjoy the many activities in Dorset UK.

What better way to explore our county than on a family bike ride, there are so many fantastic monuments, castles and more to see and you could always stop off at some of our towns and villages on your way.

How about taking a short family stroll along part of one of our many coastal & countryside walks, the children will love spotting wildlife, climbing trees and tiring themselves out running round open fields.

If you want to take in the coast but don't want to spend your day sitting on a beach, there are so many different activities to take part in. There are boat rides that can take you and your family for a tour around the Jurassic Coast and plenty or harbours to drop your crab lines in. Don't forget there's also donkey rides, pedalo hire, trampolining and many more traditional family seaside activities available throughout Dorset.

The Trips and Tours pages have lots of information on what you can do on your next visit to Dorset. These are just a few suggestions of some from a whole range of Dorset activities that you and your family enjoy during your stay, but don't forget the best way to explore is to get out and experience it for yourselves!
