After a fabulous visit to Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens – where my clients enjoyed seeing the amazing plants, trees and shrubs and all made it up to the Jurassic Coast Viewpoint – we then had a wonderful time at the Swannery. Seeing the swans was a delight – and everyone enjoyed the feeding time.
It’s been a real treat guiding in Dorset this summer.
I’ve taken groups to Corfe Castle, with its imposing ruins stretching up into the skyline, and the history of murder – of king and captured knights – along with the heroic defence by the Royalist Lady Mary Bankes against the Parliamentarian attacks during the 17th Century civil war. Walking through the beautiful village is also a stand-out experience for clients.
Tours of Portland, taking in visits to the lighthouse at Portland Bill and King Henry VIII’s Portland Castle have also proven popular, along with visits to Bovington Tank Museum, Athelhampton House and the charming market town of Dorchester, with its Thomas Hardy connections and stories.
While the Dorset scenery never ceases to amaze.
If you’re looking for a guide in Dorset – or across Hampshire and Wiltshire, or for Windsor and Eton – do please get in touch – I’d love to hear from you.
