Dorset is renowned for its beauty as well as its history. Home to the Jurassic Coast, and with over half of the county designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this part of the country has a wealth of spectacular scenery - from sweeping beaches and wave-battered cliffs to chalk hills, large vales and grassy floodplains. In Dorset in Photographs, photographer Matthew Pinner has captured the very essence of the county in this stunning selection of images. Scan through these pages and you`ll quickly see why this part of the country is cherished by so many.
