The Dorset coast includes seaside resorts such as Charmouth, Lyme Regis and West Bay together with the drama of Chesil Beach and Lulworth Cove. Small fishing villages and harbours have been the source of locations for TV and films such as the "French Lieutenant's Woman" at Lyme Regis, "Far from the Madding Crowd" at Weymouth and the series "Harbour Lights" which uses the Dorset coast. West Dorst has over 150 villages offering a wealth of history, character and charm. Old cottages, Norman churches and quiet pubs nestle in amongst the gentle hills and coastal bays. |
