What makes Full Day Guided Small Group Tour of Central Dorset a unique experience ?
First up: Nestled at the very end of The Fleet tidal lagoon is Abbotsbury Swannery OR Subtropical Gardens (Season dependant). They are remnants of the Abbey that used to be located nearby. It is the only managed nesting site of Mute Swans in the world, dating back from the 14th century AD.
The Isle of Portland is next, explore the area around the Bill with two lighthouses, a stone arch, quarry works and notorious tidal races, a rough and dynamic area that is always changing. We will hopefully take the opportunity to climb the lighthouse and enjoy the view from the top!
Next stop is lunch*. If it’s not too busy we will be stopping at Billy Winters on Chesil Beach. A stylish little surfers bar on the spit of land between Portland and Weymouth. We’ll also take a moment to walk up the beach to enjoy impressive views down The Fleet Lagoon.

Onwards to Maiden Castle, The biggest Iron Age hill fort in the United Kingdom. The whole area surrounding the castle is rife with history, from Romans to the poet Thomas Hardye.
