We're three Dorset enthusiasts on a mission to share the hidden gems, secret paths, and undiscovered joy that makes this county so special. From coastal cliffs to country pubs, we've explored it all—and we want to help you discover your own Dorset adventure.
Three passionate Dorset explorers who decided to share their enthusiasm for this great county and highlight all the incredible places to visit - from the well-known to the hidden gems!

Founder & Sales & Marketing
Anna grew up in Dorset and never gets enough of exploring it. She walks every day when she gets away from the computer, seeking out off-the-beaten-track paths and the undiscovered Dorset that most visitors miss. Her passion for sharing Dorset's hidden joy with others is what sparked the creation of My Dorset Companion.

Chief Research Officer & Quality Control
Henry is our four-legged quality control officer and the heart of our research team. He's thoroughly enjoyed exploring Dorset's beaches, countryside, and hidden corners—often with a keen eye for the best spots to rest and reflect. His enthusiasm for discovery is infectious, and his presence reminds us why we do what we do: to help families and friends create unforgettable Dorset memories together.

Technical Architect & Co-Creator
Meet Alex, the tech wizard building this site from the ground up. By day, he's our resident computer expert who speaks fluent code and solves problems before we even know they exist. By weekends? You'll find him hiking Dorset's hills, usually with Anna and Henry in tow, scouting out the best country pubs for a well-earned pint. He believes the best ideas—and the best websites—start with a good walk and a bit of laughter.
We wanted to build something that could bring as much Dorset joy to others as it does to us. Whether you're a lifelong resident or visiting for the first time, My Dorset Companion is your guide to discovering the real Dorset—the hidden paths, the undiscovered gems, the quiet corners where magic happens.
From award-winning beaches to country pubs tucked away in rolling hills, from dramatic coastal walks to charming market towns—we're here to help you explore Dorset like a local, find your favorite spots, and create memories that last a lifetime.
