Dorset and the Jurassic Coast

Starting in the delightful market town of Sherborne, famous for its ancient abbey and home to two castles - one of which was owned by Sir Walter Raleigh, this ride takes you on a clockwise look through the very best of the county on quiet roads many of which are only known to local cyclists like us! There is more history on the Isle of Purbeck as you stay in Corfe Castle with its famous ruins and then follow the Frome valley on a predominantly flat day to Dorchester, the county town, and then on to Lyme Regis, a lovely seaside town famous for its harbour and Cobb. The last day meanders back through the Marshwood Vale to Beaminster and Evershot, visiting the Cerne Abbas Giant before finally delivering you back to Sherborne. There are some hills on this tour, especially on the last two days, but nothing insurmountable and the views are simply fantastic!

As a Dorset based company we know our area intimately and we also know the roads like the back of our handsa, so you are guaranteed the best cycling available. Indeed, over the 40 years we have lived here we have ridden on every road outside the main conurbations and have even coloured in a map to prove it!
