One of the best preserved towns in the UK, Dorchester (AKA Casterbridge if you're Thomas Hardy) is beautiful.
There's historic buildings on either side of you, narrow streets and some really good places to refuel after a ride, especially at Finca!

Good places to eat: Posh Partridge,Potter in, Cornish Bakery & numerous Coffee shops. Finca (my family coffee queen says it is best coffee and independent) is a good refuel stop either in Poundbury or two outlets in the town centre:fincacoffee.co.uk/pages/our-locations
Dorset Museum revamped and really rather good. Taste cafe within museum for refreshments. dorsetmuseum.org
Shire museum good: shirehalldorset.org and has cafe and Hardy's home at Max Gate worth a look esp if NT members : nationaltrust.org.uk/max-gate
Take care out there.
