Purbecks - A great spot before or after walking to Winspit - an old quarry on the clifftops with amazing views and a lovely walk through the fields to get there. Start of finish at this tiny pub with a big garden, a beer and a pasty (this is the only food they do).

The market on Saturdays is worth a visit, a mixture of food / goods down the high street and then branches off through the town with bric a brac / antiques. Good cafes too. Worth then continuing to West Bay (the harbour for Bridport) for a walk on the beach.

Great beach
Take the Sandbanks ferry to get to the Purbecks and Shell Bay beach, sand dunes and a stunning beach. Not much in the way of facilities so take supplies but you can walk further along to Knoll Beach where there is a cafe and car park.
