Leisure Activities & Outdoor Adventure

West Dorset is perfect for an outdoor adventure holiday. Try zorbing for an adrenaline surging fix of fun, ride a quad bike at Henley Hillbillies or even an armoured vehicle at the Tank Museum! For an adventure of a different kind enjoy a tour of a traditional thatched brewery.

West Dorset's countryside is unrivalled for outdoor pursuits, so enjoy the coastal walks or the bracing sea air along Chesil Beach. For a more unusual way to explore, why not try llama trekking?

If you're looking to experience West Dorset's true nature and environment, why not visit the Kingcombe Centre near Dorchester - a residential study centre set beside the River Hooke and surrounded by 450 acres of stunning nature reserve.

For indoor entertainment, our leisure centres in Bridport, Sherborne and Dorchester provide activities for all the family.

Residents and visitors can swim for free at the Thomas Hardye Leisure Centre if aged 16-or-under or 60-or-over. This scheme government-funded scheme runs from 1st April 2009 until 31st March 2011 and only applies to public swimming sessions (so it doesn't include lessons or tutors sessions). You may need to prove you age. Please contact the centre for more information about times.
