There is often quite good weather during October and events all over Wessex continue apace. In Dorset Fairs and Carnivals continue. November brings the Fireworks that everyone loves. Of course December we are busily shopping amidst all the decorations.
Swanage is a delightful seaside resort not far from Bournemouth. It is right on the tip of east Dorset.
Poole is of course next door to Bournemouth with its own ambience. It is both a tourist resort and a busy port.
Gillingham, an ancient area, is Dorset's most northerly town near the county boundary and in the Blackmore Vale.
Studland - great beaches and popular for bird watching. Very expensive to buy property there! Makes a great place to visit.
