The Story of Dorset

Dorset’s natural and cultural heritage draws millions of visitors every year.  Over forty per cent of the county is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the spectacular Jurassic Coast holds a fascinating record of life on Earth during the 185 million years of the Mesozoic Era.  Human occupation has left Neolithic stone circles, Iron Age hillforts, Roman aqueducts, medieval castles, stately mansions, elegant churches and much more.  This book will give you a brief guide to the wonderful story of this beautiful county.
