Dorset Visitor Guide 2019

Meryl Streep brought fame to the iconic Cobb harbour standing motionless all clad in black and Jane Austen’s great novel, Persuasion, was written and part set here. Today, swimming, water skiing, sailing, windsurfing, fishing and sand castle building are a major part of life. Quaint back streets are a tangle of chic and vintage shopping, cobbled courtyards and a medieval town mill. Broadchurch was filmed on location in WEST BAY . It is the spot to see the Jurassic Coast in all its glory. Stroll to the water’s edge and witness the mighty sandstone cliffs turn to gold in the early evening sunshine.
