Poole is a bustling resort known for being the home of Europe's largest natural harbour. With award-winning beaches and a historic old town, this is a great place to explore.

Alternatively, why not join our optional excursion to historic Dorchester? Dorset's county town is also the birthplace of Thomas Hardy, who used Dorchester as his inspiration for 'Casterbridge' that featured in many of his works. You'll find well-known shops on the high street, as well as local independent shops selling everything from clothing and jewellery to antiques and art.
The optional excursions will be available to book during your tour.

Discover the magnificent Jurassic Coast, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beginning in Exmouth and stretching 95 miles along the coast to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, the Jurassic Coast is England's only natural World Heritage Site.
Our excursion takes us past Chesil Beach – an 18-mile-long shingle barrier beach – to reach West Bay, a quaint harbour village which is renowned for its fossil-hunting and role in the popular television series Broadchurch. We'll also call at Lyme Regis, a pretty seaside resort boasting breathtaking scenery, a picturesque harbour and fascinating history.
