The county town of Dorchester is famed for its literary history, weekly market and well-regarded schools. It is also home to the county hospital and mainline stations to London Waterloo and Bristol. Nearby Weymouth (approx. 20 mins drive) offers breath-taking walks along the Jurassic Coastline as well as an award-winning, golden sandy beach.
