Dorset path sign After the plain, and often absent Wiltshire signage, the flamboyant Dorset ones were quite a surprise. Dorset suffers less from the horrible ableist English path restrictions than most places and is a great place to visit if you cannot backpack on foot anymore. There is always a feeling of having saved yourself a ferry fare, and the beer's better than further south.
