Dorchester

The Dorset Inland Heritage Trail finishes in the historic town of Dorchester. Visit the Iron Age dwellings at Maiden Castle and Poundbury Camp, and the Roman amphitheatre at Mambury Rings. On the outskirts of Dorchester you'll find Thomas Hardy's birthplace at Max Gate. The town is the perfect mix of old and new, and you won't be short of shops to pick up souvenirs of your journey.
