Itinerary

Day 1 We make our way west to Athelhampton House, one of the finest examples of a Tudor Manor House in England. Explore the glorious Great Hall, the Elizabethan gardens and enjoy a light lunch of soup and sandwiches. We continue our journey to Weymouth and our hotel.

Day 2 Today we visit Swanage and enjoy a return heritage train ride on the Swanage Railway to Norden through the Purbeck Hills with view of the ruins of Corfe Castle along the way. You then have some free time to stroll along the promenade at Swanage or visit the shops before we return to Weymouth.

Day 3 In the morning we visit Dorchester, an historic market town with its roots in Roman times and close associations with Thomas Hardy. The rest of the day is free in Weymouth, or join your driver on a drive around the Isle of Portland.

Day 4 We leave our hotel after breakfast and travel via Poole with a stop for refreshments. We arrive in the local area in the afternoon.

Hotel Rex

A very warm welcome awaits you at the Hotel Rex, which offers the comforts and luxuries of a modern hotel yet still retains its original character and splendour. This three-star hotel is situated on the Esplanade overlooking the stunning golden sands of Weymouth Beach and the Jurassic Coastline beyond. All bedrooms have TV, WiFi, hairdryer and hospitality tray. The hotel has a lift to some rooms and there are some steps at the entrance.
