Me and the boy are off to Dorset this weekend, staying in Sherborne. Last time we went down we visited Monkey World on the way- but we're at a bit of a loss as to what to do this weekend. Any ideas? We don't mind a bit of travelling at all if its worth it! Thanks

:yes:
I've no idea where any of these are in relation to where your staying but - there is a sea world in weymouth plus a model village (well they are both at overcombe but almost weymouth) - plus a lovely georgian center of town and a pier.
There is Go APE which is kind of between the new forest and bournmouth - its brilliant lots of high wires and zip thingys all above the trees. ETA its at Moors Valley and it excellent - you can also hire bikes there and stuff I can't reccomend moors valley highly enough its brilliant!
browsea island which is in pool - you go for a day trip on a boat and stuff and there are lots of animals and birds to sea - but in a they are there to see them rather than in a birdwatching kind of a way.
You can go fossil hunting on the Jurassic coast on chesil beach as well.
Hum there must be more stuff but I can't think of it at the moment - which is a bit crap as i used to go there all the time - though i've not been since my grandparents moved abou 12 years ago....
