It is a pity that punctuation errors appear quite often in the text. Creative use is made of limited space and the fishing and shipbuilding past of the town is well presented. It would have been nice if the branch railway had also been covered as it played a big part in the resort's development. Definitely worth seeing if you are in this part of Dorset.

The grounds are very beautiful and the peacocks add to this experience. It is not easy to find this beautiful castle, but it is worth the effort.

The house is still furnished with its original pieces and the guests can enjoy relaxed afternoons in its living rooms. The food is superb. Active guests can enjoy pleasant walks along the various paths in the property. Peacocks, deers, cattle and hares populate the fields around the house. And runners - especially those coming from London - will enjoy some good routes on the hills and the forest and will get a chance of breathing some clean air!

Nigel took my brother and I on a private Fossil Walk at Charmouth Beach. He has written several…read morebooks on Fossiling in Dorset and he was very knowledgable, interesting and friendly. He started by giving an small speech about the fossils in the region, their origin and an overall history of the region. He then took us to a site where armed with a hammer and some butter knives he showed us which rocks to look for and how to identify patterns which may be fossils. We found dozens of fossils in a short amount of time. While we were out on the beach, locals would come up to Nigel and ask about their finds, so he is obviously well known in the area. The tour takes 2 hours and is a great way to spend the day. Nigel is good company and gave us many local tips which enhanced our holiday. This would be a great activity to do with kids of almost any age.
