Dorset is a classically beautiful and scenic place to live. From the breath taking countryside to the rolling coastal cliffs, it is a place of contrast and natural beauty.

The area oozes history from every pore, from the Iron Age hill fort at Bradbury rings and Stonehenge, to Salisbury Cathedral and the classic stately home of Kingston Lacey.
