Dorchester

A coach holiday to Dorchester sets you down in the heart of Thomas Hardy's Wessex, the historic county town of Dorset. Rich in Roman heritage — including the vast Iron Age hillfort of Maiden Castle on its outskirts — it's a characterful town of Georgian streets, museums and literary connections to explore at leisure.

Browse the shops and market, follow in Hardy's footsteps, and use the town as a base for the glorious Dorset countryside and coast, with Weymouth's sandy bay and the Jurassic Coast close at hand. Take a look at our coach holidays to Dorchester and travel the relaxed way.
