{"product_id":"9783740821463","title":"111 Places in Dorset That You Shouldn't Miss by Karen Heaney","description":"\"... it's also a book to dip into - for inspiration, for discovery, or simply for the pleasure of armchair exploration.\" - Worldwide WriterDorset doesn't have any motorways. Or cities. Or major industries. We do have railways - but don't expect high speed intercity connections. But these are the reasons why the county is so appealing: The pace of life is slower, the people friendlier, the views more unspoiled. The county is a magnet for creative types: artisan food producers, eco-preneurs, artists and craftspeople who are quietly building businesses in small towns and villages, tucked away in back lanes and converted farm buildings.   Whether you're a local, a seasoned traveller or first-time visitor, beautiful, quirky Dorset will surprise and delight you. This guide will introduce you to 111 off-the-beaten track (and sometimes off-the-wall) locations that make this slice of the West Country a wonderful place to live and a great place to visit.   Pick flowers in the grounds of a ruined abbey. Watch the summer solstice at a mini Stonehenge. Spot badgers in fancy dress. Buy wobbly bread from a post office. Moon-bathe in a beach-side sauna. Or fill your boots at a dry dock.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56310975824245,"sku":"9783740821463","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783740821463.jpg?v=1762816022","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783740821463","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
