Look no further for a fun-filled holiday for all the family! West Dorset can offer an abundance of child-friendly attractions, activities, accommodation and places to eat, making it the ideal destination for your family holiday.

A trip to West Dorset would not be complete without a day out at one of our family attractions. From teddy bears to dinosaurs, and tram rides to tanks, there is something to keep everyone entertained come rain or shine.

Dorset beaches are ideal for that family trip to the seaside. Why not try your hand at sailing or fossil hunting as well as building sandcastles and going for a paddle? Don't forget to have a Dorset cream tea or ice cream to keep your strength up!

Whether you prefer hearty pub grub or afternoon tea, fish and chips or fine cuisine, these eating establishments offer a top-quality family-friendly dining experience.

If you prefer dining alfresco, why not pack your hamper and suncream and head to one of West Dorset's fantastic picnic spots.

Make the most of some great family events taking place in West Dorset this summer. Why not take the family and thier cuddly toys to a teddy bears' picnic, try your hand at a summer art and craft workshop, or join in with the children's activities at one of the region's spectacular carnivals.
