Delightful Dorset - England
Coach Tours - 8 Days

Tour Highlights
• Thomas Hardy Country • Swanage • West Bay • Sidmouth • Dorchester

Weymouth first became fashionable for seaside holidays when King George III came here in the late eighteenth century, and fine Georgian terraces still line the wide Esplanade to this day. Quaint little back streets wind around the old harbour and the magnificent sweep of Weymouth Bay offers golden sands and fine, safe bathing. Here not only does the traditional delights of the English seaside abound - award-winning parks and gardens in which to relax, interesting craft and souvenir shops, regular entertainment in the Pavilion Complex - but the lovely Dorset countryside is on the doorstep too.
