Dorset is centrally located on the South Coast of England, the natural link between the South East and South West of England, well positioned for easy access to London, Bristol and the Midlands. Dorset gives access to the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth and accessibility to international air travel from Southampton, Exeter and Bournemouth airports connecting Dorset, not only to the UK markets, but also to the rest of the world.
