River Cottage Canteen
As befits a TV chef who campaigns on sustainable food, at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's bistro the emphasis is firmly on local, seasonal and organic ingredients. Hearty flavours include pike and parsley soup, Portland crab with fennel, and garlic mushrooms on toast with sorrel and goat's cheese shavings – a kind of deeply satisfying English crostino. Drinks include Stinger Beer; brewed from (carefully) handpicked Dorset nettles, it's spicy with just a hint of tingle.

Forde Abbey
This former Cistercian monastery was built in the 12th century, updated in the 17th century, and has been a private home since 1649. The building boasts magnificent plasterwork ceilings and fine tapestries but it's the gardens that are the main attraction: 12 hectares of lawns, ponds, shrubberies and flower beds packed with bamboo, rhododendron and asters - topped off by a 160ft fountain.
It's 10 miles north of Lyme Regis; public transport is a nonstarter.
