In a quiet and picturesque setting, Gorselands is uniquely situated and is ideal for those who appreciate a combined sea and country holiday. It is within easy reach of many holiday resorts and places of interest. Chesil Beach which runs the sixteen miles from West Bay to Portland is reputed to be one of the finest fishing grounds in the whole of the British Isles.

Gorselands has a well-stocked shop which is open daily. It can supply most of your needs including fresh milk, papers, frozen foods, and all groceries and provisions. There are many excellent pubs and inns in the locality - amongst them, the Bull Inn, 100 yards along the road from the park, where the food is good and children are welcome; the Manor Hotel at West Bexington, an ideal stop after your walk through the fields to the beach; and the Crown at Puncknowle (locally pronounced 'Punnel'), another good stop when taking a walk inland. All have a very good choice of meals from bar snacks to gourmet food. Burton Bradstock, Abbotsbury and West Bay also have attractive places to eat if you feel like going farther afield. For a day out why not visit Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Dorchester, Yeovil, or Bournemouth? all of which have good shopping facilities and are interesting places to see.
