Selena's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Small natural harbour with day trip fishing boats and trips to Lyme Regis. Ice creams and food kiosks, from burgers to a full on Seafood platter! Spend all day on the beach either side of the harbour in this quaint seaside place.
This was the setting for the TV drama, Broadchurch and if you watched it, you will recognise the church, cliffs and policestation (aka the motorbike clothing shop!)
You can walk East from here to Burton Bradstock or West to Golden Cap along the Jurassic coastal path. The views are beautiful and as you walk up the cliffs, you are quite high.

Barrington Court
Beautiful house and gardens
I like going here to walk around the gardens for inspiration. You can take your dog too! If you are feeling fit, walk up the hill for views along the Jurassic coast. You can use your Tesco clubcard points for ticket admissions

Very interesting museum for all things flying!
On the 1st Sunday of the month they do a car meet, get your tickets early so you can wander round the cars outside and get your museum pass to see the fabulous cars inside.
