A home-made cake stall found at Dorchester Farmers' Market selling the most scrumptious looking cakes. I bought the best Dorset Apple Cake I've ever eaten - thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Can't wait for their return next month.

They told me they sell at Dorset Farmers' Markets in Blandford Forum, Broadstone and Dorchester.
Four entirely different museums housed in separate buildings but easy walking distance apart. All four museums are suitable for children and each member of a family should find something of interest. The museums are : "Tutankhamum, The Exhibition" , "The Dinosaur Museum", "Terracotta Warriors Museum" and "The Teddy Bear Museum". Combined tickets for all four museums can be bought. A godsend if the weather is dreary. Unusual gifts and souvenirs for sale. Dorchester is well served with tea shops, pubs and restaurants ( I recommend "The Old Tea House" , 44 High Street West, 01305 263719 for scrumptious cream teas with home-made scones) so refreshments between museum visits are easy to find.
The museums are all situated in the centre of the town and Dorchester is a small town so it difficult to miss them. Tel: 01305 269571
Two railway stations about 10 minutes walk from town.
It is quite simply the best British B&B we have stayed in. Everything is thought of and catered for. How ace to have a full breakfast menu with such great choices with proper sauces, jams etc - none of these rubbishy catering pack plastic sachets. Perfectly situated for the excellent Monkey World, too!
