Event: Visit Dorset County Museum

For a weekend break, there are few places in the world which can match the charm of England's green and pleasant land.

Nowhere is this charm more evident than in Dorset, with its winding country lanes, thatched villages and sweeping chalk cliffs making it an area of stunning natural beauty.

Nestled deep in this leafy paradise is the luxury Dorset hotel the Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Spa, where the hustle and bustle of the big city seems a million miles away.

With the 3 Nights for the Price of 2 package, guests can enjoy complimentary use of the Health Club, heated indoor pool and Sauna together with a full English breakfast each day and a complimentary third night.

While in the county visitors can pay a visit to the Dorset County Museum, where the history of the region is told in a series of fascinating displays.

Guests can learn about local historians, writers and scholars as well as the geological and archaeological past of this rich and varied land.

Highlights include Roman mosaics, fossilised dinosaur footprints and original Thomas Hardy manuscripts.

The museum building itself is a sight to behold, with its stunning gothic architecture one of the many draws of this fascinating region.
