| The peaceful villages of honey-coloured stone lie snugly in this landscape where pounding seas have carved magnificent sculptures out of the cliffs and thrown up Chesil's great barrier of shingle. Weymouth which was once a Roman port is now a modern ferry terminal, with safe boating in bay and overlooked by Lodmoor park. Visit the busy market town of Dorchester, Thomas Hardy's home for many years and where the county Museum has a collection of manuscripts. In the village of Tolpuddle six farmworkers met in 1834 to propose formation of a trade union. They were later arrested and convicted as a 'secret society'. |
