Looking to slow down, explore somewhere new or just escape to the coast? A Dorset short break gives you the best of both worlds, with charming market towns, sweeping countryside and iconic coastal landmarks all within easy reach. Whether you're heading off for a romantic weekend or planning a spontaneous family trip, a Dorset weekend break promises a refreshing and memorable escape.
Why Book Short Breaks in Dorset?
Dorset is the perfect destination for a short getaway, offering a relaxed pace and a beautiful blend of coast and countryside. From fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast to walks through rolling green hills, this county is made for discovering at your own speed.
Food lovers are in for a treat too, with everything from seaside fish and chips to independent restaurants showcasing fresh, local produce. And with cosy cottages to return to, a weekend break in Dorset feels like a true escape—no matter the season.
Whether you're exploring dramatic clifftops or enjoying a lazy afternoon in a harbourside pub, a short break in Dorset delivers the kind of getaway that lingers long after you’ve left.
Places to Visit from Dorset Weekend Breaks
A Dorset short break puts you in the heart of some of the South West’s most scenic and historic locations. No visit is complete without a stop along the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its fossil-rich beaches and landmarks like Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.
For a glimpse into the past, explore the ruins of Corfe Castle before heading to Swanage for a ride on its heritage steam railway. Families will love Monkey World near Wareham—a primate rescue centre with fun and education in equal measure.
If you prefer market towns and a spot of shopping, make your way to Dorchester or Sherborne. Both offer a mix of local history, boutique shops and independent cafés—perfect for a slower pace of exploring.
