Welcome to virtual Dorset.

For the time being we are asking people to stay local and let us bring Dorset to you. 

We know that since the government has lifted some of the lockdown restrictions allowing wider access to outdoor spaces, many of you will be keen to get outside and visit Dorset’s Jurassic Coast and countryside on a day trip.  However, we are unable to give you our 'normal' welcome as the majority of our hospitality businesses are closed including pubs, restaurants and cafes until at least 4th July and not all car parks and toilets are open so facilities for visitors are limited. 

Our number one priority right now is ensuring that people are able to enjoy our glorious county in a safe and responsible way; looking after our local community, our visitors and the landscape around us. If you do decide to visit on a day trip please follow our guidelines to respect, protect and enjoy Dorset.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you back to our beautiful county when the time is right.

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