Dorset
Devon's eastern neighbor
Dorset is a county in southwest England, on the English Channel coast.
Known for its rural landscape, dramatic coastline, and fossil-rich cliffs, it includes the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We spent a week in Dorset.
Dorset also names a breed of sheep with white faces and fine wool.
