Are you curious about the Dorset dialect's charming term for a bumblebee?

If you're a fan of the Harry Potter series, this might tickle your fancy—it's "Dumbledore."

Fascinatingly, J.K. Rowling was inspired by this very word when naming her iconic character, Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

🌧️ Even a splash of rain couldn't dampen our spirits on the Jurassic Coast! 🌊

To all our adventurous cruise passengers who joined us—thank you for embracing the weather with smiles and raincoats. The misty cliffs took on a mystical charm, and the stories of ancient times seemed even more alive with the pattering backdrop of raindrops.

Remember, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just different kinds of good weather! We’re thrilled you could experience the unique beauty of the Jurassic Coast with us, rain and all. ☔️💙

Stay adventurous, Dorset Tours 🦕

Just wrapped up an unforgettable tour with three amazing guests from Reno! We explored Thomas Hardy's resting place, marveled at the Cerne Abbas Giant, and journeyed along the stunning expanse of the Jurassic Coast. Thanks for the memories, guys! 🌊🏞️

19/04/2024

🌟 Discover the Hidden Gem of Cerne Abbas! 🌟

Did you know there's more to Cerne Abbas than the iconic Giant? Step back in time with the enchanting 16th-century Pitchmarket! 🏡 Once the bustling hub where farmers showcased their corn sacks on market days, this striking building is now a Grade I listed private residence.

🎬 And here’s a fun fact for film buffs: the Pitchmarket has starred in several films, including 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles', 'Mansfield Park', and 'Tom Jones'. Imagine walking the same floors as your favorite characters!

📸 Don't miss capturing this piece of history on your visit! Who knows, you might just feel like a movie star stepping onto a set!

Thanks Gregg, we're so glad you had a nice time! 😀🥰

The Dorset Pub Tour - "We had the best time on a private pub tour led by Spencer of some the coolest old and quaint English pubs. We stopped at about 5 different pubs and sampled local beer or cider at each one. So much fun and each pub had it’s own unique personality. Best stop and excursion on our cruise for me!"

Today in the village of Corfe in Dorset. ❤️

As we drive around Dorset, it's common for people to remark on the beautiful thatched roofs dotting the landscape. And if you've ever wondered about the process behind their creation, here's how it's done. 😍 📸: The Thatching Guy - Instagram
