Father’s Day falls on the 19th June this year, and it’s not too early to start thinking ahead and booking a few days away.
This week we thought we would give you a few locally-inspired ideas for Father’s Day gifts.How about a Sea-kayaking day trip exploring the coast near Poole, Dorset; or a 20 minute two-seater helicopter lesson at Bournemouth in Dorset?
For something on a much smaller scale, you can adopt a Dorset Dormouse and help the Dorset Wildlife Trust's Dorset Dormouse Recovery Project. The dormouse is one of England's rarest mammals, and has already been lost from seven counties because of habitat loss. Adopting a dormouse costs £15 and adopters even get a photograph of their dormouse!Or how about some truly delicious and luxurious hand-made chocolates from Dorset chocolate makers Chococo? Husband and wife team Claire and Andy Burnet use local Dorset produce as much as possible, and where they can't go local, they source ethically produced ingredients. They make all their chocolates in-house, by hand, and they don’t use any preservatives. Here are a few chocolatey ideas for Father’s Day.
The Dorset Crab Company produces this wonderful potted crab, made with crabmeat, butter and a secret blend of spices.Photographer Andrew Dorey lives on the Jurassic Coast and the beautiful Dorset scenery inspires many of his photographs. You can buy wonderfully evocative prints of Dorset views from his website.
Of course we think the best possible gift for Father’s Day is a rejuvenating break in one of our luxurious self-catering apartments J We have four apartments to choose from, all with amazing sea and coastal views, and in the perfect location for exploring all that Dorset has to offer.For a warm welcome on Father’s Day, and a delightful sustainable holiday in the beautiful county of Dorset, please contact us to book accommodation for Father’s Day.
