We leave on Monday for 4 nights in a vacation rental near Bridport, on the Dorset coast. A "mini-break" in Broadchurch country (UK TV show). The weather has been nice this past week - sunny, mild (for March - 50F), no rain. It looks like we might get some rain next week though.
It is just a 2 hour drive from where we live - so close! But driving in the UK is much harder than driving in the US because of all the roundabouts and lanes. 2 hours in the car here is like 7 hours on an interstate.
Bridport is close to Poole, where you can get a ferry to France - and I was tempted to add on a few days in Normandy/Brittany.
We have been to this area several times, twice staying in Bridport. This time we are looking more closely with the idea of maybe moving there next. But mostly we will be walking along the cliffs looking at the ocean and warming up with cups of tea. And visiting Chesil Beach.
