    Fun Dorset Facts

    Armishaws Fun Facts

    Jurassic Park

    Dorset’s Jurassic coast was the first location in the world to feature on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It’s of particular historical interest because of the rich vein of dinosaur and prehistoric remains to have appeared along the coastline. It’s also spectacularly beautiful and well worth a visit.

    Slow Motion

    Dorset doesn’t have a motorway. On the whole driving is slower in Dorset but when the views are so good, what’s the hurry?!?

    Red Hot Chilli Peppers

    The Dorset Naga is one of the hottest chillies in the world scoring on the 923,000 Scoville scale. That’s 400 times fiercer than Tabasco Sauce , it’s so hot you have to wear gloves just to handle it and must have a fire extinguisher on hand before eating one (ok, we made that last bit up, but you do need gloves, don’t say we didn’t warn you!)

    She sells sea shells…

    Mary Anning was a palaeontologist and fossil lover who discovered a number of dinosaur remains and previously unknown species. She used to clean, polish and sell smaller finds and fossils to tourists and was the subject of the popular tongue twister. All day long she sits and shines… However, she was not allowed to join the Geological Society because she was a woman.

    About

    One of the UK’s most scenic counties, Dorset has so much to offer both inland and along its historic coastline. The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site, ideal for artists, photographers and nature lovers to explore. Sandy beaches, hidden coves and smugglers tales all add to the romance of the county.

    Some consider Dorset to enjoy a slightly slower pace of life (it’s true there are no motorways in Dorset) but there is still much to discover, beautiful, unspoilt villages, rustic country pubs, incredible scenery, artisan food producers, local crafts and vibrant cities are all part of the make up that attract so many people.

    Population – 745,841 (2011 You.Gov census)

    Area – 2,653 km²

    Things to Do

    Cerne Abbas Giant

    This most handsomely endowed fellow is most well-known for his 11-metre phallus. It’s rumoured to aid fertility for couples ‘doing what comes naturally’ on the site under a full moon.

    Durdle Door

    Dorset’s most iconic landmark, this stunning structure can be viewed from the beach, from the cliff tops or by boat. It’s best to visit at first light to beat the crowds and get the best photos.

    Game On

    Dorset is home to the World Nettle Eating Contest and the World Knob Throwing competition. So, if you’re feeling sporty you could become a world champ in sunny Dorset.

    Tyneham Village Dorset

    Ghost Village

    In 1943 Tyneham Village was cleared when the area became a firing range during WWII. The uninhabited village still stands complete with pub, post office, school and homes.

    Museums & Historic Sites

    An area of world-renowned scientific interest and incredible natural beauty, Dorset really is a little bit special. The beautiful coastline attracts thousands of visitors, there are the tourists but also fantastic birdlife and sea life.  Whether you enjoy birding, fossil hunting or just want to get out and enjoy the great outdoors there are miles and miles of coast to explore.

    You’ll also find rich history (no, not just the sharp-toothed scaly variety). Smugglers tales and legends run through the county which also produced some of Britain’s most feared pirates. Artists have also been inspired by Dorset, Enid Blyton created the Famous Five here, basing their adventures on the beaches and woodland found in the county.

    There are plenty of eye-watering proprty prices with Sandbanks being one of the most expensive property hotspots in the world, and even beach huts in the area can set you back a pretty penny with some of the traditional wooden huts exchanging hands for six figure sums.
