Rose Cottage Suggested Links Page
Dorset is rich in history and extremely beautiful. There is plenty to keep you busy in and around Sherborne, but if you want to roam a little further abroad you are positively spoilt for choice. Here are a few links to some of my favourites.
Stourhead Gardens http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-stourhead/w-stourhead-garden.htm
Stourhead garden was created by Henry Hoare II in the 1740s. The River Stour was dammed to form a great lake. Around the lake Hoare laid out a landscape garden to entrance his guests with stunning views and pacify them with serene walking pleasure.
Lulworth Cove http://www.lulworthonline.co.uk/
Lulworth Cove itself is a beautiful shell shaped cove, formed over millions of years, providing a great place to relax on the beaches, swim in the cove and also dive if you are daring to the many great spots in and out of the cove.
Maiden Castle http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.15733
The impressive Iron Age hillfort of Maiden Castle was not the first monument on the hilltop - excavations have discovered a complex sequence of occupation, beginning over six thousand years ago.
Durdle Door is one of the most photographed landmarks along the Jurassic Coast.
