Dorset Dog-Friendly Locations

Dorset is in the South West of England on the English Channel coast and is famous for the Jurassic Coast and its amazing stretches of fine, sandy beaches and varied shorelines.

Looking for alternatives to beaches, you have chalk downs, low valleys, beautiful coves, islands and ports at Portland, Poole and Weymouth.

150 km of coastline making up the Jurassic Coast, a great spot for fossil hunting, beachcombing and so if you like getting out into the open with you four-legged friend then Dorset is a great option.
