Dorset (Slow Travel)

This new third edition of Bradt''s popular guide to Dorset - part of its distinctive series of ''Slow Travel'' guides to local UK regions - has been thoroughly updated to reflect all the most recent changes to the region. Where - and what - to eat, where and when to go and what to see are all covered, providing an essential guide to one of Britain''s most rural counties. The author, a Dorset girl born and bred, says: ''Many of Dorset''s attractions are well-hidden and known only to locals, who like to keep the county''s treasures to themselves. This guide takes you to those secret places and introduces you to some delightful Dorset locals past and present. Practical information covers accommodation, eating and drinking, and travelling in this unspoilt region.''Dorset is quintessential rural England: rolling hills, thatched houses, narrow, winding lanes and stunning stately homes and gardens, all of which make it perfect for slowing down and discovering what really makes the region tick
