Famed for its stunning stretches of Jurassic coast, Dorset is as an idyll of rolling countryside, quintessential villages, towering cliffs and quiet coves. When our recent travels took us from an artists’ co-op hidden in a side street of Shaftesbury to the quiet reaches of the Purbeck peninsula and the independent shops of Bridport, we learned that it’s also a place where creative and spirited communities thrive.

Our trip to Northumberland presented us with some striking contrasts. We visited Britain’s smallest museum and a bookshop big enough to have an in-house train, contemplated a huge wilderness that was mostly man-made and found a 300-yard walk that took three hours. There was a sense of emptiness that felt alive, of history that felt current and weather that most definitely went to the extremes. Here are the places we visited, plus a couple that Storm Ali forced us to put on the list for next time.

It’s amazing what you can fit into a couple of days away if you plan it right. With just a few well-chosen stops you can turn a weekend into what we like to call a Micro-adventure. Here’s a roundup of our favourite mini journeys, with days spent on the move and a different place to stay each night. They let you dip into a region, making long weekends feel like whole week of exploration.
