BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN DORSET: Dramatic coastlines, fairytale castles & chocolate box villages
BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN DORSET: Dramatic coastlines, fairytale castles & chocolate box villages// Hello lovely people! Today we share the second video from our amazing visit to Dorset! We had a lot of places on our list as there's so much to see but feel as if we only scratched the surface. So there's always reason to return to this beautiful county.
Durdle Door has been on our list for years and it was even more beautiful than expected. Though we couldn't film as much as we wanted as we had very strong winds, we so enjoyed our visit there. Very nearby is the stunning seaside town Weymouth, so worth checking out. When we prepared for our trip to Dorset, we stumbled up The Crab House Café and its amazing seafood. It's so good with lovely staff and fresh food - thumbs up! If you get the chance to see the Smugglers Inn in person in Osmington, do so because it's the most picturesque place. You can even stay there! Last but not least Corfe Castle, a fortification standing above this dreamy village. Oh what an amazing weekend. Kirsten & Jörg xx

The Dorset coast is stunningly beautiful, you have captured it to perfection.
I must say Kirsten, you look absolutely gorgeous in your slacks and tweed jacket and cap 😊 beautiful place! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 PS me and my ex-husband used to do this all the time when we visited Europe just rented a car and stopped in village after village and Castle after Castle it's absolutely beautiful, you're so lucky that you lived there.
We recently visited England and France but rented a car for only a couple of days of our trip. We realized that we really enjoyed the small and quaint villages and are planning another trip to Europe for next year, this time renting a car for the whole trip for the flexibility of stopping in said places. I would love to go to Scotland, Northern Ireland, Switzerland, etc. Any recommendations based on your personal experience?
@@mereiriz We started in London rented a car went down into Wales went all through Wales went to Ireland all the way up to the Northern Ireland caught a fairy in went to Scotland with our car we went over 2,000 miles the last time I was there with my ex-husband we went from London all the way up to the tip of the Isle of sky all the way back down to London we visited Sterling Castle Wallace monument Rob Roy's grave just everything we just stopped at everything. You really can't go wrong renting a car, and just stopping when you want and we stayed at b&B's only. No matter what you do you will love it!
@@mocarra100 Thank you!
@@mereiriz You are so very welcome!
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. Stayed in Corfe Castle village in 1989 with my parents and 2yr old son. We had glorious weather and got to stay an extra week at our accommodation.We didn't want to go home. Next time visit Kingston village and the Scott arms,great views. Also Kimmeridge Bay, Swanage,Studland Bay,Wareham, Brownsea Island and Poole. We always used to break our journey at Lacock. Your filming was stunning.
I LOVED the scenes driving by the cottages. Because I’m nosey! Weymouth was stunning. We feel like we have had a little mini vacation with you. We can’t travel right now, so we thank you very much fro taking us with you. Much love from Northern California. Peace to all around the world who are watching.
We love Dorset! I once walked up the hill to Durdle door when I was 4 months pregnant. I was puffing a bit by the time I’d got to the top. You’ve been to some of our favourite places!
All places you guys visit are just so incredibly beautiful. I so envy you the two of you. The U.S. is not as old as England is so it makes seeing these places so much more special. I am so glad I am part of the viewing family! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much Wanda!
Fresh air, beautiful sunshine, and the stunning sea...what a delightful weekend you had. (And, of course, delicious food!) I can tell there's still much to explore in Dorset. Thanks for this respite from the world's woes.
So fascinating to see a 1,000 year old castle. The village was so beautiful! What a lovely weekend adventure!
Kirsten and Joerg, I cant tell you how much enjoyment I get from watching your adventures from afar! My husband and I live in upstate New York, where we also have beautiful, rural scenery, but we seem to be missing the castles and small, quaint villages! Much appreciation for every video!
Absolutely stunning! Those houses.... they look like paintings! Every where you look is like inspiration for writing or painting....dreamy! Thank you so much, you two are very much appreciated 😊
So glad you like it! Oh yes, such wonderful houses - a gorgeous county.
Perfect combination- glorious sunny weather and picturesque views!😍 Thanks Kirsten and Joerg! 😊
I can picture people of that period walking in the streets. How beautiful! I wish I wasn’t so terrified to fly. I really want to go there and just to Europe in general
This was absolutely wonderful! I hope to visit England one day. I love how quaint and charming it is. Thanks so much for sharing with us. 🌻💕🌷
There is something about the ocean that just is so energizing. What a beautiful weekend.
Yes there is so much more to see thank you visiting our lovely Dorset it’s the best
Stunning! What an amazing place! Love the history - gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
What beautifull places!!! Thank you for sharing with the community. The wind seams stronger than the Mistral in south of France! Love from Paris to you two.
Thank you for taking me where I may never see.
Thank YOU!
🥰 So much beauty packed in this episode. Simply one wonder after another〰️natural & architectural. Brilliant beaches, green rolling hills, Spring flowers, & more. A castle, ruins, ancient buildings, & charming houses. Even church bells 🔔! Steam train whistle 🚂. Exciting. ❤️ Enjoyed your sweet canoodling💋. Hope you had a lovely stay. Thx for letting us tag along your tour. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
I can't find the words - this video is wonderful as I want to run and book a flight. I have 'tourist envy' for every trip you take us along on but this one really looks inviting. I want to sit outdoors at the Corfe Castle Tea Room and have that piece of chocolate cake that Jeorg was having. Kirsten and Jeorg, thank you so much for introducing us to new locations and taking the time to film and edit. I appreciate it so.
Oh how beautiful it is! This would be such a dream come true to visit these places IRL! Thank you Kirsten and Joerg för another wonderful video!
Fond memories of my first school trip away from home, camping near Corfe Castle. Walking and singing along the hill tops and descending to Corfe, taking the steam train to Swanage. I still love the Isle of Purbeck, the NT's Studland Bay, clear water wonderful beaches. Thank you so much.
This is my kind of weekend. Outstanding location. Beautifully filmed even without the drone. Thank you
Dorset is beautiful…so old, and with such charming buildings and views! And, you both frame the views so well.
Beautiful video. When I was young and growing up in Surrey my family would camp on a dairy farm each summer at "Dancing Ledge" in Langton Matravers, Dorset (near Swanage). Once we passed Corfe Castle in our little car I knew that we were almost there! This video brought back such happy memories. 💗🤩 PS: The old farm house and barns (owned by the Guy family back then) are now National Trust, I believe, as is the Ledge.
The little “fairytale Village,” looks like an idyllic place to stay. The views, are so beautiful and I could imagine sitting there and thinking about the history of the Castle and the surrounding area. I also love the way they served you crab dish, in a Martini(?) glass looks so pretty instead of on a plate or bowl. Looking forward to your next adventure.
The colors of the water around Durdle Door are so beautiful. I was surprised to see Palm trees!
Yes, so beautiful! Oh you do find many palm trees in the South of England, Dorset is also called the English Riviera with a lovely mild climate.
Very much enjoyed you touring this area of England. I appreciated the green grass & vegetation there in March especially after just having a lot of snow come down here in Winnipeg. Thank you for sharing your weekend !! Those houses I saw remind me of a series my daughter & I enjoyed, called Lark Rise to Candleford.
All the tiny little houses are so adorable. I believe what makes the aesthetic is the modern, white window and door frames; complementing the stone buildings and magnificent views, of course. It's a mixture of old and new, which I think everyone can appreciate. Thank you for a lovely video.
Es war wieder einmal so schön, euch begleiten zu können. Wunderschöne Landschaften und Orte, die man sofort besuchen möchte. Danke Euch für die Aufnahmen.
Vielen lieben Dank
Dorset is so very pretty. So glad you took us there. Wow to those gorgeous blue doors on the homes. I loved them. And I can just imagine how Corfe Castle must have been and the people that were there. What a beautiful weekend you had. Thanks again Kirsten and Joerg. Oh, please keep taking us along with you in the car. Feels like we are actually riding along and viewing the scenery. Sending love from the New England area in the States.
A very dramatic coastline, beautiful. I lived for many years in the Caribbean and there the sea is stunning too. The village is beautiful and I imagine people in victorian dresses walking around. And no car's how nice would that be. Realy enjoyed this video. Greetings 💟🌷🇾🇪
The castle and surrounding town is cozy, intriguing, and hauntingly beautiful all at the same time! So very different from the landscapes and buildings here in the US. Thank you for taking us along on your exciting travels!
Just lovely and romantic all at the same time! You both looked so stylish and happy! Thanks for taking us along!
Kristen and Joerg…..another beautiful video. Storybook for sure and absolutely charming.
Thanks so much Patricia!
It real pleasure….dance!
That view from the top of the hill was stunning! Thank you so much for taking us along. Lovely!!
Oh my goodness you are a beautiful couple.
That's so kind, thanks so much!
I love this area. Ancient castles, fresh seafood, and beautiful views from easy trails. The crab cocktail looked so good. I would have had two and skipped the entree lol. Thanks for wine critique, Joerg. The name says it all, young and bright even though you didn’t say a word. Take care you two😊👋🏼💕
Alle diese Landschaften in England, ob am Meer oder nicht, ob raues oder mildes Klimagebiet, mir imponieren sie alle. Auch die Häuser und Häuschen erscheinen mir als gemütlich, heimelig und hübsch. Wahrscheinlich liebe ich deshalb auch englische Krimis. 🤣🤣🤣 Euch alles Gute.
Wonderful! So appreciate you taking us with you! Loved it!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This was so beautiful..scenery breathtaking..was the ocean really so blue! Gorgeous..I remember visits to Weymouth as a child.. loved the seaside trips with my family all those years ago..memories..! Thank you so much
There are so many beautiful spots in the UK! I've been fortunate enough to have visited England, Scotland, and Wales back when I was in my early teens and twenties. Now that I'm in my late 50's I know would appreciate the natural beauty so much more. I hope to get there again someday before I'm too old to appreciate life.
That was a very relaxing and beautiful video! Thank you❤
Beautiful places love it when you guys take us on these beautiful journey’s thank you!
What beautiful scenery in this video!!! The castle and village were like from a fairy tale. ....and you even gave me a glimpse of sheep and a steam engine train! But the best view was of you both on the seaside rocks with a setting sun. Thank you for sharing your travels with me.
That's so kindest hank you Cynthia!
Oh my! Sooo beautiful! This is a place I will no doubt never be able to visit, but thank you for taking me there in my imagination! The best video yet! 💕
Hello how lovely to see Weymouth brought back memories of my holiday in 2021 my first holiday after lockdown, I took a trip on steam train such beautiful views I agree with other commenters great filming. 🤗🌞🙏
What a delightfully quaint village with a magnificent view of the castle up that Main Street. I loved this video. Your photography is wonderful and you show us the most beautiful places.. I love when you both have tea and a sweet.. I miss England!!! Thank you Kirsten and Joerg as always..
Thanks smooch Beverlee!
Both of you are wonderful!!! When I need to calm myself I look to your videos and always find peace!!!! Thank you!!
What a beautiful region! I love the old towns all built of the same stone, lovely. Thank you again for bringing us along on your adventures.
Vocês são maravilhosos! Amo acompanhar suas viagens,as imagens espetaculares! Sou de Piracicaba,São Paulo,Brasil 🇧🇷 🥰❤️👍
What a beautiful landscape with the blue of the sky and the sea and the green of the ground...the old cottages are so beautiful too and in so good shapes, they cross the centuries and seem nearly new ! I am glad you have had a good time there and a good weather to appreciate it more. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful England s country.
Hello from New Hampshire. The scenery and the photography is beautiful! I never traveled to that area, but I remember how biting the coastal winds could be in the Yorkshire spring. You two will just have to hold on to each other! What a wonderful weekend. I enjoyed seeing the Crab House Cafe. The wine looked like a good compliment to the crab coctail. We fish for mackerel and blue fish off our coast. It is really delicious smoked! And those lovely daffodils! My bulbs have not come up as yet. There is still snow here and the bare grass sections have not turned bright green like your tour of the hills.Thank you so much for taking us along! ~ Diane
Thank you so much Diane!
You should come.... It's right next door to Old Hampshire. 😉
WOW! Truly a spectacular location with so many things to do and see! I loved the thatched cottages and the stone buildings. Such picturesque and historical towns and villages. The castle ruin was so impressive! Of course, the coastline was almost beyond description! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure! Dorset must be one of the most beautiful places in the UK.
What a beautiful coastline. Dorset is stunning. Thank you for sharing💕
You said it best! Absolutely stunning! You two are the best tour guides! I am a big history buff too Joerg! Wish I could give you 100 thumbs up! 👍🏻
What a beautiful video! Such quality! Both places look breath- taking! Thank you both for sharing this with us! ❤️
Thank you so much Alma!
Breathtaking Kirsten and Joerg. Thank you so much for filming these two days in all that wind. It couldn't have been easy. God Bless you. The rock formations are just unbelievable. It was an awesome weekend with a special couple. Thanks for taking me along. 🌺🌸❤️
Da sieht man wieder sehr schön, wie vielseitig GB ist . Einerseits Meer 🌊 Küste und Leuchtturm andererseits im Landesinneren sehr viel grüne Landschaft und perfekt zum Wandern . Von Corfe Castle hatten wir noch gar nichts gehört. Schönes Ausflugsziel 😊 ! Schöne Grüße aus Köln von Regina & Jörg
Ja, das ist so wahr, diese Vielfalt gibt es natürlich auch in Deutschland und wir lieben einfach Beides, Meer und auch Berge, immer wieder schön. Corfe Castle können wir sehr empfehlen, würde euch ganz bestimmt gefallen. Viele liebe Grüße
@@KirstenJoerg Da könntest du Recht haben, liebe Kirsten 😊
Beautiful blues.. beautiful views!!! Thank you for a visit to Dorset Kirsten and Joerg!! The arch is so stunning. I loved the music you chose.. even went with the crisp windy weather!! Wonderful time spent!! 💙💙☺️
Thanks so much Marcia! Yes, Durdle Door is so lovely - best to come early in the morning as we did as it's less busy.
Spectacular! Thank you for sharing it with us 💖🇦🇺💖
Splendid scenery! Thank you again for taking us along! 💕💕
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg for this spectacular video! The beautiful views, castle and charming streets and homes soothe the soul! Dorset area sure is special! 🥰

As always, spectacular!!! I always wonder what people do for a living, in these villages? What a wonderful life. Just beautiful 💜☮️
Thanks so much Tonya! There's a lot of tourism but bigger towns with work are nearby as well.
Always a joy to travel with you two! A beautiful coast.
You two are incredible tour guide’s. Thank you Kirsten & Joerg.
Thanks so much Jennifer!
Once again you have delivered stunning photo footage and inspiration to return to the UK for an extended trip through the countryside. We are going to Italy this year but if I can make it through another year we might try some of the beautiful places you have visited. In my younger years I hiked in the Lake District and saw some of Cornwall my favorite place in the UK. I had a day in the Cotswold area and saw Oxford and Cambridge too. My mother spent 2 years in Coventry during WW2 and I have visited there as well. Been to Kent but would love to see the places you have shown. Till that day I will devour your wonderful vlogs. Danke sehr veil.
I love your posts and look forward to every one. They are fun, informative, and most importantly, sweetly peaceful. Thank you for all the calm and beautiful content.
This was beautiful…such a magical area & so much history
What beautiful scenery. It would be lovely to make some prints of the water and rocks where the 2 of you set. One with you in it and the other where the sun was more visible. All of the video was so nice. 🌷💗
We have a Weymouth here in Massachusetts. Actually we have quite a few cities named after places in England although they're not as charming as the ones that you get to play around in LOL ☺️ Thank you for the tour.
Hahah yes of course, the English brought the places names to the US. Thank you so much for watching.
I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful scenery and breathtaking views. Best wishes from the Bavarian Alps.
Das freut uns riesig, ganz lieben Dank!
What a lovely trip that you shared with us. It blows my mind that Corte Castle was built in the 11th century. If walls could talk. Such beautiful landscapes and the Crab cafe looked beautiful with amazing views and food. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
I was there the other day & thought you'd love it there & then I wondered if you'd been there & came across this glorious video! I was lucky enough to see the steam train pass & managed to take some beautiful photos! Ps if you return to the village next to Corfe Castle, make sure you go into the sweet shop for 'Soor Plooms' they're bright green Scottish sour plum flavoured sweets!
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg for another gorgeous video. The filming is beautiful and the food looks wonderful. Your work is greatly appreciated. ❤👍💐👌
Wow Dorset is absolut traumhaft! Diese knalligen grünen und blauen Farben und dazu die bezaubernden Dörfer und Städte. ❤️ ON top hattet ihr wunderschönes Wetter. Wahnsinn. Ich war vor allem von den Klippen und Stränden fasziniert, die ihr gezeigt habt. Da könnte ich wunderbar abschalten. Vielen Dank für das mal wieder super schöne Video. 😊❤️
Vielen Dank liebe Lilli! Dorset ist wirklich eine Reise wert, können es sehr empfehlen. Ganz liebe Grüße
Thank you for another wonderful, beautiful exploration with your delicate inspiration… 🙏🤍🕊🌿
How old is this village? I swear you’re right. It’s a fairytale and exactly what we think is a postcard English village. Thanks for taking us. You both look great 😎
Such beautiful pictures. Thank you both for sharing all of your travels. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌸🌸🌸
Ihr beide seid so süß!! The perfect match!
Wieder einmal traumhafte Aufnahmen und inspirierende Eindrücke - danke dafür und liebe Grüße, Elke und Franz (aus Greenwich) ☺️
Vielen herzlichen Dank und liebe Grüße!
Thankyou you lovely couple , for showing all the rural historic/ beauty of UK 🇬🇧❤️🤗
Ein wirklich schönes Wochenende. Das Wetter war schön, die Landschaft auch. Das Meer war herrlich. Da wäre ich auch gerne gewesen. Toll! Danke dafür. Nur der Wind ist halt am Meer ziemlich stark. Wünsche euch noch eine schöne Woche. Bis bald eure Annette 🌬️🌊
Es war wirklich toll! Ja klar, am Meer geht meistens etwas Wind, nur an dem Wochenende war er wirklich extrem und wir konnten nicht so filmen wie wir wollten aber Hauptsache es war trocken, Regen und extremer Wind wäre die schlimmste Kombination gewesen. Liebe Grüße
Such a wonderful weekend you had. It was lovely to enjoy it with you both!
Amo vocês! Muito obrigada por nos fazer tão felizes!
Que fim se semana "encantador"...tudo tão lindo e transmitindo tanta calma, coisa tão necessária nos dias atuais. Só vocês, com esse olhar tão delicado, mostrando beleza e "História" ao mesmo tempo. Obrigado pelo passeio!!! Beijos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
I was so excited to see your new video. I am beginning to feel a need to have a dose of your videos to feel relaxed and happy.
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg. Dorset is such a beautiful county with lots of lovely places to visit. In addition to Where you have visited already, I also love Swanage, Lyme Regis and all the little villages. The view of Chesil beach when you dive on the coast road really is spectacular. I live relatively close as I live in the neighbouring county, Hampshire. X
We visited all those beautiful places a few years ago. Your video brings back lovely memories to me. Thank you.
As a resident of Dorset, it is pleasant to see places that I have visited many times. Just North of Corfe Castle is Wareham, where you have the Wareham Saxon Walls, which is a man made ridge that you can walk along. Wareham is the site where Alfred the Great King of Wessex besieged Guthrum and his Danes in 876. Maiden Castle is worth a visit, it is an iron age fort, south of Dorchester.
Thank you for taking me along on your beautiful weekend get away. I think the views from the hill of the castle were spectacular. Good choice to hike up the hill. The sea food isn’t my favorite but glad you both enjoyed it. We are behind you with the daffodils! Ours are just starting to pop up here in Iowa. Same with my tulips. But oh it’ll be worth the wait. Bye for now! Mary
This is an amazing view of the castle. And you were lucky with the weather. It was so interesting!
Beautiful coast line,great places,so wonderful to explore I bet.Love this video.
Thankyou for taking us on another wonderful adventure.
So beautiful! Would love to visit one day. I love castles.🥰😍
Thanks so much!
Gracias por hermosos lugares donde nos permite viajar junto a uds... Castillos, muy lindo paisajes..gracias por subtítulos👏😘
Tres belles vidéos, vous nous gâtez ! Merci encore... hâte de vous revoir...
Thank you for taking us along! Seeing all the beautiful places made my heart happy 🥰
