USING OUR MAP AND SAFETY ON THE DORSET COUNTRYSIDE & COAST

As the map pointers can become misplaced whilst editing our Great Places Map, as we also use multiple pointers to display businesses which offer more than one service from one location, and as some businesses keep their locations private to guard their foodie secrets, we cannot guarantee that ALL of the locations are precise, so it is up to you to double-check all directions, opening hours and availability, but if you do spot any errors on our map or within our website, do please let us know!

Much of Dorset is either a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or a UNESCO World Heritage site, it's beautiful but it's also pro'er wild out there so please stick to dedicated public footpaths and DO check if there have been any new route changes to the South West Coast Path, as following flooding in the Westcountry in 2012, the land became saturated with water leading to large chunks of our coastline eroding:

"The South West Coast Path owes its unique character to natural processes. Our coastline would not look so beautiful and dramatic if it wasn't for cliff and beach erosion. The downside is that sometimes cliff falls or landslips close sections of the Coast Path resulting in temporary inland diversions, which can occasionally be quite lengthy, being needed. In these instances, always follow signing and information on the ground. We are also constantly looking for opportunities to improve the route in the few places where it is not as good as it could be. Recent changes that may not be in your guidebook or shown on your map are listed below. Whilst this page is kept up to date, if you want to be alerted to any updates, please follow our Route Changes page on Facebook."
