Pictures From My Holidays In Dorset

Welcome to this part of my site featuring pictures from my holidays in Dorset. It is one of England's most beautiful Counties and is the neighbouring County of East Devon, Somerset, Hampshire and New Forest. Dorset's countryside mostly consists of rolling hills inland and is very much like Devon with its picturesque Towns and Villages.
