When you're in need of a rest and a chance to recharge, the gentle stillness and salty air of the South Coast are worth their weight in gold. For grown ups, there's all the romance of a wander along the beach by Durdle Door, tasty tipples at Palmers Brewery or a day's uninterrupted lazing by Lulworth Cove. Top that all off with long walks in the countryside, thanks to these tranquil adult only campsites in Dorset.
