Autumn is here and with the change in seasons comes an opportunity for a holiday with a difference. Peak season has passed, but there are plenty of reasons why autumn breaks in West Dorset might be just what you're looking for.
Uncrowded and unspoilt
This is your chance to enjoy parts of Dorset and The Jurassic Coast without an overcrowded feel. Whether it's the beautiful coastal attractions or charming towns and villages such as Bridport and Lyme Regis, they are likely to be considerably less busy than the summer months. We're also near the East Devon border which provides even more options for exploring the beautiful south coast.
Wonderful coastal walks
Part of the joys of autumn are the rich palette of colour from falling leaves as well as the dramatic skies. It makes a perfect time of year for getting out and experiencing the great Dorset coast and countryside on foot. Newlands Holidays is ideally located to act as your base for local walks and links to the South West Coast Path. Why not blow away the cobwebs and take in the stunning views at The National Trust Golden Cap Estate. Or perhaps The Undercliff Nature Reserve which stretches from Lyme Regis to Axmouth.
Prime location for fossil hunting
Our holiday park is situated a short 15 minute walk from Charmouth beach. Fossil hunting locations in Dorset don't come much better than this and nearby Lyme Regis. The latter was famously used as the location for the 2020 Ammonite film starring Kate Winslet. The movie is the subject of the extraordinary life of Mary Anning, who lived in Lyme Regis and one of the most famous fossil hunter of all time. Searching for fossils in autumn might just brings its rewards, especially if the beaches are windswept after a storm.
