When it comes to UK holidays, one of the most-asked questions is: what are the best Dorset beaches? Luckily there’s a wealth of wonderful answers. From beautiful coves and family-friendly crescents of sand, to fossil-packed bays and uncrowded shores. Dorset has them all.
Most of us know that choosing local during a holiday is better than chain or mass production. Yet, travellers like you can have trouble finding local businesses and accessing local produce. And while we understand the ease of eating your next meal with a franchise, there’s no denying that beautiful regions like West Dorset are best experienced through their local businesses.
Cycling holidays. You can't beat them.
Whizzing around Girona on a warm day? Wonderful. Exploring the slopes and coasts of the Algarve? Bliss. A whistle-stop tour of Tuscany? Yes, yes please and yes again.
These cycling hotspots, however, come with a hefty drawback. For UK cyclists, doing Girona or tackling Tuscany means international travel. And international travel means faff – especially when you've got two wheels in tow.
Of course, it would all be different if the UK had a world-class cycling destination to call its own. We could travel light, leave our passports at home and avoid the absurd hassle that comes with flying avec vélo.
