Xtreme Falconry at Dorset Falconry Park

👍👍 What an amazing experience! We were visiting from Canada and booked online in advance. Kyle, our guide was so knowledgeable, funny and great fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him as we flew 3 beautiful owls. Our fee included touring the facility and seeing all the incredible birds at the site...

St Oswald's Bay Beach
Tourist attraction
😐 Don’t get fooled by edited photos. This isn’t as amazing at it seems in photos. I was there, and it was nothing like the beautiful photos. Looks can be deceiving especially when people photoshop their pictures!!!!! The coast is all rocky and no sand. That said, enjoy my deceptive airbrushed photos

National Trust - Ringstead Bay
Scenic spot
👍👍 Great views over Weymouth Bay towards Portland. The walk from Ringstead to The Smugglers Inn takes about 45 minutes to an hour and is on generally well maintained paths. There are quite a few steps so not really suited to anyone with mobility issues.
Clean and unspoilt. Lots of kite surfers, wind s...
