The county of Dorset offers a wealth of wonderful sights, scenery and heritage. The Jurassic Coast, a Natural World Heritage Site, stretches from the Isle of Purbeck – a peninsula home to sandy beaches, sand dunes and heathland – into east Devon, and offers a ‘walk through time’ with rocks recording 185 million years of the Earth’s history.
National Route 2 runs along the coast of the county and forms part of the Tour de Manche, an international cycle route through south west England and northern France.
The map also features 4 day rides with directions and a description of the area, highlighting key cycle routes, local history and places of interest.
