Whilst Broadchurch may be recieving mixed reviews on it's second series, there's no doubt that it's again highlighted the beauty of the local area here in Dorset. David Tennant has said "This is the only place you’d ever want to come on your holidays", and we'd agree.

 

There's plenty to do in the area, so while you're waiting to find out what the Bluebells mean, plan your summer cruise around the Dorset coast and visit some of these great attractions.

 

 

The beach has not only featured in Broadchurch but was used in the introduction for the BBC's The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Visiting boats are welcome in Bridport Harbour and there is a slipway with space for boat trailers.
