Editors Note.Welcome to the First Edition of TheKnow-How. We are a local company dedicated

to helping visitors make the best choice about how to spend their holiday time, and as a result have the most fantastic holiday here in West Dorset.

We have been struck by the huge range of choice facing visitors when they arrive .

This is too much for most visitors who also don’t have local knowledge, easy access to the internet or good references to help them choose the best. The result is that many end up confused and choosing the wrong things, and as a result not enjoying their visit as much as they should have.

Posh Nosh.....Chez Cuddy

This is an incredible restaurant owned by the larger than life

chef and his wife who escaped London for the quieter pace of Dorset. Lucky for the locals and visitors who decide to patronize Chez Cuddy. Many ex London clients have rediscovered the Chef and are regulars especially at week-ends so you may have to book then, espe-cially since discovery by television

As well as being open from morn-

ing coffees through to lunches, Chez Cuddy is now also open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening as a wine bar, with people dipping into the menu for 1, 2 or 3 courses. The internal décor is cosy and fresh and there are just 30 cov-

ers so you will never feel like an anonymous customer on a con-veyor belt. Badir takes great care to speak with all his visitors and responds to their ideas and com-ments- as for example by the in-troduction of pavelast year- lunch

For two courses and drinks only we paid only £14

per head- well worth it for food of that qual-ity. We particularly enjoy the supreme home prepared Burg-

ers, and the calves liv-er, and for a real treat you

can’t go wrong with the Gruy-eres and spinach tart served with locally sources fresh vegetables. There is a great range of starters and sweets and Badir has no prob-lem with you dipping in or out or mixing dining with snacking.

CAFE CULTURECafé Culture has spread

to West Dorset! Here you will find wonderful Pavement Cafes, Arts Cafes, and beach side cafes. Every holiday needs a treat in a café and the Dorset Cream Tea is so irresistible that it is world famous.

West Dorset’s café selec-tion is world class.

Hive Beach at Burton is one of the countries most famous Beach side Cafes and is a wonderful stop off on the short cliff top or beach walk

from West bay. The Organic café at Sladers yard in West bay, although new, has carved itself a reputation as one of the most stimulating Arts cafes in the region. The organic theme is maintained by the unique Green Yard in Bridport, and Pavement cafes abound. If the unusual is your scene then Downshire Farm’s cream teas, or the bakehouse kitchen that is Town Mill in Lyme will charm you.

PUB GRUB

Dorset is famous for its lovely beaches, its winding

lanes, great scenery, and superb walks. Our pubs are archetypical also and West Dorset has a selection of the very best, many of which offer some of the best pub grub in the country.

The Anchor at Seatown, with

its superb beach side terrace is

particularly good for alfresco

dining but pubs like The Spyway at

Askerswell, The New Inn in Stoke

Abbot, The Marquis of Lorne in

Powerstock and the Loders Arms

at Loders offer superbly presented

food in idyllic country surroundings.

The areas country pubs are often

the hub of lovely country walks so

even if you are not hungry you can

build your appetite, or walk off a

big lunch! The area has more than

country pubs to offer though: a The

Cob Arms in Lyme, right next to the

harbour, typifies the coastal choice.

For the style conscious you cant get

much better than the very trendy

Beach and Barnicot, or Bull in Bridport,

and for those seeking a taste of local life

the red cider in the Hope and Anchor

and Skittles in The Tiger, offer

atmosphere as well as great food. If

GALLERIESThe Art scene in West Dorset is unique. There are few areas, anywhere in the country that can boast such a wide range of artists and craft workers.

There are a range of spe-cialist shops where you can watch the artists at work, and galleries artists get together and offer a mouth watering selection of unique and local products..

Several working artists are always to be found in Otterton Mill, where a selection of locally produced artwork is on sale and you can also relax in the cafe as well as marvel at the work-ing of a real water mill! Broadwindsor Craft Centre offers an equally mouth watering range of craft skills with many artists working on the premises, and the village of Abbots-bury offers many workshop based artists who are delighted to welcome visitors.

Virtually every village has its gallery show-ing the work of local artists.. The galleries of Lyme Regis are concentrated in charming Coombe street.

GLOBE RIDING

Imagine yourself suspended inside a ten-foot clear plastic sphere by nylon

ropes, then rolled to the top of a slope and pushed off. No brakes, no steering, just you and gravity. By all accounts, it’s like being a stray sock in a spin dryer, and it’s obligatory to scream a lot. There are reports that some find hillsides too tame, and have tried rolling off cliffs and waterfalls. The balls bounce OK; so usually do those inside. Some have tried walking on water by taking the spheres on to lakes.This adventure activity was invented by Dwayne van der Sluis and Andrew Akers in New Zealand in 1995 as something exciting for tourists to do once they became jaded with bungee jumping. They created the term Zorb for the ball, presumably a variation on orb, which they trademarked and which they used for the name of their company. Confirming my suspicion that there is no activity so crazy that it will not be taken up by somebody somewhere, Zorbing has large numbers of enthusiastic participants, not only in New Zealand but also in the US, Europe and elsewhere.The term, and zorbing for the activity, began to appear in print in 1996. Since Zorb is a proprietary name in New Zealand and the US, the term sphereing has been used as an alternative, though zorbing is showing some signs of becoming generic.

Variations are becoming known, such as hydro-zorbing, in which you are drenched in soapy water on the way down (the nearest thing in existence to a human washing machine), and harness zorbing, in which two people are strapped together. On flat land, a number of participants can play bumper-zorbs. A participant is often called a Zorbonaut.

COASTAL WALKExplore

2 mile stroll around Abbotsbury with a refreshments along the way!!

The mellow stone and thatch village of Abbotsbury, set in the coastal downs at the western end of the Fleet, is one of Dorset’s Gems. Originally the site of an 11th century Benedictine Abbey this popular village remains remarkably unspoilt. The coaching inn that is the Ilchester Arms lies at the heart of the village. Queen Victoria once stayed here and the quality of food , the superb accommodation, and the ambience of the building have changed little. A beautiful and restful place to relax at the end of this lovely walk.

Leaving the pub turn left up the village street and after 60 yards turn left again signed chapel hill. The way becomes a pleasant track with lovely views over Abbotsbury.Turn right immediately before a gate signed Chesil Beach. At the next signpost keep straight ahead still following the signs for Chesil Beach The sandy track lead gently downhill between high hedges and leads through a gate. Continue following the Chesil beach sign past another track on the right. The track curves south and you will see the ridge of Chesil Beach ahead. Continue to signpost and stile on the left.

While use of the term “ex-treme sport” has spread far and wide to describe

a multitude of different activities, exactly which sports are consid-ered ‘extreme’ is debatable. There are however several characteris-tics common to most extreme sports. While not the exclusive domain of youth, extreme sports tend to have a younger-than-average target de-mographic. Extreme sports are rare-ly sanctioned by schools. Extreme sports tend to be more solitary than traditional sports.[4] In addition, beginning extreme athletes tend to work on their craft without the guid-ance of a coach (though some may hire a coach later).

When we talk of the seaside and buckets we normally think of

superb sandy beaches and children playing to their hearts content. We have many of those in West Dorset, but we also have bucket loads of the best in music, entertainment and dancing. For many visitors the night out on the town is an essential part of any holiday. The pubs and clubs of West Dorset provide a huge choice of some of the best entertainment in the country. The area also hosts a range of special events that is second to none.

The evening out that is probably most popular and which is in-

grained within West Country culture is the night of live music in the local pub. Nothing can beat such an evening for sheer craic- the joy of live music, the energy of live bands and the atmos-phere in pubs packed to the rafters is hard to beat. There are tens of live music pub venues in the area and it is possible to spend every evening at a different pub, listening to a different band or singer. Whether your taste is Jazz or Folk, Rock or big band your holiday week or fortnight is sure to coincide with a performance nearby that you will love. For those that prefer dancing and a lively late night life there are a range of night clubs in Dorchester,Weymouth and Seaton one of which is sure to appeal.

The Hangover is a rare comedy in this movie-going day and age in that it’s not only genuinely funny through and through, but it keeps the laughter consistent throughout pretty much the whole thing. Just about every situation, gag, and ridiculous set of events is set-up perfectly and executed with brilliance. And what binds all of it together is the fantastic comedic chemistry between the leads. Now this is the quality of comedy that should be around more.

In the caveman comedy, ‘Year One’, Jack Black and Michael Cera star as two hapless hunter-gatherers. When the lazy duo are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic adventure through the ancient world. ‘Year One’ promises to be a comedy that really will go down in history.

If you liked ‘Juno’ and ‘Be Kind Rewind’, you’ll love ‘Year One’.

Teen DaysFor many parents teenagers are the hard-est group to keep entertained. For the outdoor minded many of the adrenaline activities listed elsewhere are a fantastic solution but for the less active the Joust-ing shows at Lulworth, workshops at The electric palace and Arts centre in Brid-port, and special events such as Milton Abbas street fair are ideal. Visits to lo-cal artists at their workshops and shop-ping experiences such as Brewers Quay in Weymouth, or Clarke’s outlet village in Street. Our heritage buildings such working mills, watermills and grand country houses and gardens Might prove ideal. The choice though is huge- all you need to do is select and go for it!!!

FOR FREEAll holiday budgets are limited and free days out are a key part of any holiday, especially for families. West Dorset of-fers some great things to do at no cost and TKH aims to help you know what’s out there. Whether it’s a museum (there are 30in Dorset) a working artist such as those at Dansel in Abbbotsbury or the many potteries in the area, or making best use of our fantastic countryside there is something for everyone!! TKH informa-tion also categorizes days out according to weather so hopefully we’ll keep you active no matter what!!! Top tips include:Indoor Activity: Local potteries and art-ists, Museums and craft centres.

Gurnsey A heady mix of stunning scenery and the best of contemporary living, Guernsey is the perfect destination. Inspiring walks along the cliff paths, rambles through the rural interior or lazy days on the island’s beautiful beaches, Guernsey has it all.

St. Peter Port, the island’s capital, is a bustling har-bour town, a tapestry of architectural styles that tell the story of the region’s changing fortunes. Here bis-tros, restaurants and boutiques jostle for your atten-tion, while in the harbour ferries are readied to take you to the sister islands.

Ask anyone who’s been here. Guernsey is a special place, a thriving community that welcomes its visi-tors with open arms and leaves a lasting impression on all who set foot on her soil.
