description: The sea has played a leading role in the history of Dorset and the county's shores boast not only the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site but also historic towns such as Poole and Lyme Regis. Gordon Le Pard's book looks at the Dorset people's relationship with the sea, whether making a living from its bounty, travelling and trading from Dorset ports, defending the coastline from the threat of erosion or against foreign raiders, or simply enjoying the seaside.
