  1. Respect. Protect and Enjoy Dorset

Welcome to Dorset.

As restrictions begin to ease we know that many of you will be keen to visit our beautiful county and we are ready to welcome you back with open arms but we ask that you follow the government’s roadmap towards easing of restrictions and follow our guidelines to respect, protect and enjoy Dorset.

We want each and every visitor to have a fantastic experience whilst in Dorset and we are therefore asking that you plan and book ahead to ensure that you can enjoy a safe and responsible visit. Our beautiful coast and countryside, towns and fabulous accommodation, attractions and eating out businesses are ready to welcome you back responsibly.

We’ll continue to share some of our favourite images of Dorset over on our social channels and we’d also love for you to share your own memories with us on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
