    Bournemouth, Dorset (a lot of the coastline area around Britain is corroding into the sea,
    with falling rocks from the cliff edges (held in by wires)
    and chunks of rocks and small islands can be seen out at sea
    which were once part of the main island but were eroded away from the mainland by the sea.

    Lots of wave-breakers are put onto the beach and sea
    to help reduce the impact of the sea-waves affecting the cliffs and coastline,
    and to help prevent flooding around our island.

    Flood-reduction grids are used across small rivers in the local countryside
    for vehicles to drive over.

    Bournemouth has suffered with some bad floods from heavy rainfall
    combined with sea waves crashing into the coast (news video clip below.)

    Cornwall has a lot of problems with landslides happening
    and also large chunks of cliffs and land falling into the sea
    and Atlantic Ocean waves flooding them.
    It's one of the problems with having towns close to the sea.
    See a cliff in Cornwall collapse into the sea here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVjr4mii3cE
    And the White Cliffs of Dover on the coast falling into the sea too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjBvJYCEyGk

    During geography classes our school was taught about the effects of acid rain,
    and also the effects of sea corrosion along the cliffs
    and we were shown the impact of it along our local coast.

    There's over 6000 British Isles, but most of the islands
    around the main island of Great Britain
    are just rugged bits of rocks out at sea which were once joined to our main island.

    Our island moves slightly north each year by a few centimetres according to geologists.

    Sandbanks, Dorset

    Sandbanks in Dorset has now become one of the most expensive places to live in the entire world.
    (Video report below.)
    I must admit that this area does have a lot of large mansions with large swimming pools and sea-views, fancy cars, speedboats, etc.
    There's a region close to Bournemouth called 'millionaires row'
    where ex-Beatles star Ringo Starr has a home.

    It's really beautiful travelling on the quiet roads between Sandbanks and Studland;
    I recommend taking a ride through Studland and Sandbanks
    and Canford Sands areas in Dorset
    and also parts of Hampshire in the neighbouring county
    to see it for yourselves; it's a beautiful ride
    and you'll love seeing the mansions, country roads and swimming pools.

    There's lots of charismatic and charming pretty villages
    and old pretty shops to see in Dorset too,
    stone ottages, and old stone cottages which are converted into cafes
    serving cream tea and scones and strawberry jam,
    which is quite heavy, but it's ok as an occasional treat once or twice a year,
    if you skip eating a meal when having a treat of scones and cream tea.

    West Dorset

    http://www.coolplaces.co.uk/guides/u...50-west-dorset

    The Shave Cross Inn, Shave Cross, Dorset

    A quaint 700-year-old pub in the heart of West Dorset.

    Despite the very English walled garden, cosy pub interior and selection of real ales,
    the food here is decidedly exotic, with a Caribbean-influenced menu
    featuring the likes of Creole sea bass, veggie filo parcels with calypso rice,
    Guyanese goat curry and Jamaican jerk pork with pineapple and plantain.

    Inside there are flagstone floors (peer hard and you'll find the odd embedded fossil)
    and roaring open fireplaces with a separate restaurant area.

    Outside there's a thatched well, pond, and children's playground,
    and if that's not enough, there's also Britain's oldest thatched skittle alley,
    said to partly date back to the tenth century.



    Hive Beach Café, Burton, Bradstock, Dorset

    The freshest fish and the best sea views
    can be found at this homely beach hut-cum-seafood restaurant
    on lovely Burton Bradstock beach. You can sit outside on the terrace all year round,
    or under canvas awnings if the weather’s bad, and enjoy a huge platter of seafood,
    including lobster, crab, langoustines and scallops...
    ...all caught in the very waters in front of you;
    or choose a fish from the counter – Lyme Bay lemon sole,
    perhaps – and have it simply grilled with olive oil and sea salt.



    Sherborne Abbey, Dorset


    East Shilvinghampton Farm, Portesham, Weymouth, Dorset

    In a lovely valley, a few miles from Weymouth,
    this working farm offers a handful of luxurious
    ready-built tents that sleep up to 6 in a large field.
    With their solid wood floors, comfy beds,
    a wood-burning stove, a toilet and running water.

    The front of the tents open up fully,
    so that on a summer night you can be virtually sleeping outside,
    while on colder evenings, you can seal them up securely
    and cosy up around the wood burner.

    In the evening you can gather round a communal bonfire to tell a tale or two
    and order pizzas baked from the on site bread oven.
    Since it’s a working farm, there’s no shortage of animals to pet,
    including horses, chickens, rabbits and ducks,
    and there’s a farm larder selling local produce from the farm itself
    and local suppliers (including great Dorset ales).

    There are some lovely rural walks nearby,
    including a great steep climb to the Hardy Monument,
    or you can drive to nearby Weymouth for its long sandy beach.



    Norburton Hall, Shipton Lane, Burton, Bradstock Dorset

    Norburton Hall is a lovely Edwardian country manor housing a stylish
    bed and breakfast and self-catering cottage accommodation.

    Surrounded by six acres of rolling lawns and woodlands,
    the house is grand without being too formal, with an imposing main hall,
    complete with sweeping staircase and stained-glass windows,
    and a cosy sitting room.

    The guest rooms are a stylish mixture of antique furnishings with modern touches
    and all three of the en-suite bedrooms have a cafetiere,
    wi-fi, lovely aromatherapy toiletries
    and views over the grounds,
    while the luxurious Halcyon Room boasts a four-poster bed and roll-top bath.

    Several of the Hall’s outbuildings have been converted into stylish,
    contemporary self-catering cottages, sleeping from 2 to 8 people.




    Summer Lodge, Fore Street, Evershot, Dorset

    For a romantic weekend away, Summer Lodge,
    in the pretty village of Evershot, is the ultimate country house hotel.
    It oozes history and atmosphere – the west wing of the hotel was designed by the famous novelist and poet Thomas Hardy himself
    during his days as an architect –
    while the ambience is friendly and relaxed with attentive, discreet service.

    The large, luxurious rooms are decorated in traditional style,
    ranging from country cottage to stately home,
    and come with nice touches such as a fruit basket and homemade shortcake.

    The facilities are good too: four acres of manicured grounds
    containing tennis courts and a croquet lawn,
    an indoor pool and spa, plus a top-notch restaurant.
    None of this comes cheap, but it’s worth it if you’re looking for a luxurious treat.




    Olive Tree Mediterranean Restaurant, Bridport, Dorset

    This attractive and very friendly Mediterranean restaurant has an open kitchen
    where you can watch the chefs prepare a range of pasta dishes
    (try the fusilli de cabra, with goat’s cheese, pine nuts and rocket),
    and great freshly stone-baked pizzas, including the Olive Tree pizza,
    topped with parma ham and artichoke.
    Other dishes include roast guinea fowl – and make sure you leave room
    for the delicious mojito cake, flavoured with mint, lime and rum.



    Lyme Fossil Shop, 4 Bridge Street, Lyme Regis Dorset

    An Aladdin’s cave of fossils, gemstones and all things geological,
    this warren of a shop is a long-established Lyme favourite.

    Inside you can browse the huge collection of fossils,
    minerals, petrified wood, crystals,
    meteorites and sea shells from the local area and further afield.

    Particularly impressive is the amber, with hapless insects enclosed in the stone,
    and the Portland Titanites Gigantus – allegedly the largest ammonite in the world.

    here’s also a tiny underground museum, where you can see fossils
    of an ichthyosaur and more ammonites.




    Cove House Inn, Chiswell, Portland, Dorset

    A cosy pub with thick stone walls, wooden floors and a wood-burner,
    offering views of Chesil Beach and the sea.
    The outside tables overlook the beach
    and it’s a great spot for a drink on a warm summer’s evening.
    Good value pub staples – ham, egg and chips and the like –
    are served and there’s also a daily specials board,
    which is strong on local fish dishes, such as Portland scallops
    with new potatoes and paella.



    Fossil Walks, Lower Sea Lane,
 Charmouth
, Dorset

    One of the best ways to find fossils along the Jurassic Coast
    is to take a warden-led fossil walk on Charmouth Beach.
    The two-hour tours start with a talk in the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre
    and a look around its amazing collection of fossils,
    then you head out along the beach with hammers and chisels.

    It’s amazing how many fossils you can spot when you know what to look for –
    the knowledgeable and informative wardens provide help and advice
    so that even the youngest fossil-hunters will come back clutching their own treasure.
    There are also regular rock-pooling tours and more serious weekend-long fossil tours for adults.
