Hire a car in Poole
Poole is an essential yachting stop but also a key road trip kick-off point.
Europe’s largest natural harbour (and the second largest in the world!), Poole stuns visitors with some of Britain’s finest beaches. The city, which even features its own unique island, is a paradise for fishermen, sailors and water sport enthusiasts.
Beyond Poole though, the coast really impresses and begs to be explored by car. Search with easyCar to find the rental that suits your needs, for the best price.

Timeless ventures
The Jurassic coast
Take a drive through time as you cruise along the Jurassic Coast, one of England’s most iconic stretches of shoreline. The area is a living history book, scattered with hidden evidence about the state of the Earth millions of years ago.
Along the 95 miles of coastline, you can drive to some truly photogenic landmarks, including the natural arch way, Durdle Door, and the beautifully secluded Lulworth Cove. Stop off and hike to the edge of the white chalk cliffs known as Old Harry Rocks or gaze up at the impressive golden rock face of the West Bay. Whether you’re hunting for fossils or taking a stroll, the Jurassic Coast doesn’t cease to amaze.

Around Dorset
Castles
If you’re less interested in fossils and more for historic architecture, Dorset has grand castles that span through the ages.
The enchanting ruins of Corfe Castle, which date back to 1086, tower over the countryside. For something more intact, visit Highcliffe Castle, one the most lavish and outstanding examples of Romantic style architecture in the area. Here, even the corridors seem to sparkle.
Hikes
Hiking along the Jurassic Coast is the main reason most people find their way to Dorset but there are plenty of other worthy walks to take.
Follow the Wareham Forest Way or Two Rivers walk to see some of the lesser known landscapes in the region. Or retrace the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, through the woodlands and countryside near his final home and resting place.
Villages
The Cotswolds isn’t the only place in England where you’ll find classic country villages. Dorset has a number of cute towns, some surrounded by rambling hills others with sublime seaside views.
Backed by the highest cliff on the south coast, Eype’s scenery is hard to beat. Alternatively, Cattistock features one the loveliest 19th century churches in Dorset and some fantastic pubs where you can rest your feet.
