Dorset and the Jurassic Coast

There is so much to see and do in this beautiful part of the world! Yesterday we took a trip south to Dorset to meander along the Jurassic Coast.


The beaches were filled with holiday-goers. Men fishing, mums sun-bathing behind wind screens and little kids squealing in the waves. Unfortunately for us we didn't bring our swimsuits along!


We couldn't get over the colour of the water! It almost looked tropical!


We chose not to hike to the top of the cliffs as we were only in sandals. But others did as you can see in the photo.


We had lunch (fish and chips of course) in the harbour of West Bay. Then we were on our way to Abbotsbury to hike up to Saint Catherine's Abbey. We could see it long before we got to it.


We needed some sustenance before our hike so we stopped in at the Old Schoolhouse Tea Room for a strawberry cream tea.


We walked through the fields to the abbey at the top of the hill. Again, such beauty! I could have stayed up there with the sheep for hours.
