Today we explore part of the awesome Jurassic Coast, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and England's only natural World Heritage Site. Stretching 95 miles from Exmouth to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, the coastline here is valued for its outstanding rocks, fossils and landforms.

Visit historic Dorchester, the country town of Dorset and still very much the ‘Casterbridge’ of Thomas Hardy’s novels.

Dorset's county town, Dorchester enjoys a rich history, dating back as far as the Iron Age. There's a variety of museums to discover, alongside the well-known high street shops and independent boutiques and it is a delight to explore the central pedestrianised centre and historic Antelope Walk arcade.

This Warners is on a wonderful site, beautiful surroundings, 160 acres of grounds and gardens. Lots of history, lots of very old trees, all beautifully kept by just 4 gardeners. Warners itself, good food, varied menu, lovely staff, very good entertainment.

At Lymm services, we discovered that our main coach had failed air conditioning. As the driver had reported the fault the previous week, that coach should not have been used. We had to wait 2.5 hours for a replacement to arrive at Sandbach services. The hotel room was comfortable, but a long walk to the dining room. Housekeeping left a little to be desired - debris in corridors for days. A couple of places we visited on the tour were not good - Seaton was mainly boarded up buildings, Bridport uninteresting. Overall, enjoyed the break
