When Dorchester’s bricks-and-mortar Tourist Information Centre had to close, the Discover Dorchester website was commissioned to help fill the gap.
Built during the height of the Covid pandemic in 2021, it played an important role helping the town try and bounce back from the effects of lockdown, the loss of visitors and the closure of many museums and attractions.
Discover Dorchester is a map-based directory of tourist attractions, businesses and amenities in and around Dorchester, which the visitor can search and filter on their preferences, for example “dog-friendly places to eat and drink”, or “EV car charging”.
Any places of interest can be saved to the visitor’s list of ‘Favourites’.
