Cycling holidays. You can't beat them.
Whizzing around Girona on a warm day? Wonderful. Exploring the slopes and coasts of the Algarve? Bliss. A whistle-stop tour of Tuscany? Yes, yes please and yes again.
These cycling hotspots, however, come with a hefty drawback. For UK cyclists, doing Girona or tackling Tuscany means international travel. And international travel means faff – especially when you've got two wheels in tow.
Of course, it would all be different if the UK had a world-class cycling destination to call its own. We could travel light, leave our passports at home and avoid the absurd hassle that comes with flying avec vélo.
Markets have played a huge part in any civilisation since civilisations began. But UK farmers markets in particular only kicked off in 1997 in Bath in a bid to boost sustainability. And the reasons it was successful then are the same reasons we love them today: farmers markets connect places, people and produce in fundamental, joyful and flavourful ways. In fact, at the George Albert we love them so much we’ve compiled a delicious list of best farmers markets in Dorset.
Finding the ideal destination for a short break or weekend getaway can be a challenge but if you're in search of a place that seamlessly blends tranquillity and breathtaking coastal sights, look no further – Dorset awaits your arrival.
When it comes to UK holidays, one of the most-asked questions is: what are the best Dorset beaches? Luckily there’s a wealth of wonderful answers. From beautiful coves and family-friendly crescents of sand, to fossil-packed bays and uncrowded shores. Dorset has them all.
There are few better places to delve into Britain’s cultural and environmental heritage than a National Trust property. The National Trust is best known for stately homes but its range of properties is much wider than that.
Most of us know that choosing local during a holiday is better than chain or mass production. Yet, travellers like you can have trouble finding local businesses and accessing local produce. And while we understand the ease of eating your next meal with a franchise, there’s no denying that beautiful regions like West Dorset are best experienced through their local businesses.
