A keen fisherman has spoken of his fondness of Dorset as a holiday destination, having rediscovered the county after two decades.
Malcolm Hemmings told the Dorset Echo that he is taking the opportunity to do some angling in Weymouth this month.
Nearly 20 years after last heading to Dorset, Mr Hemmings is currently enjoying a two-week family holiday.
And in addition to fishing and walking on the beach, he highlighted the benefits of the area for his 12-year-old daughter.
"She isn”t a confident swimmer but because the sea is shallow for a long way here, it”s perfect for her," he said.
Mr Hemmings added that he returned to the area to see how it had changed, stating that it is "like taking a trip down memory lane".
Those planning family holidays in Dorset in the coming years may be able to spot some Olympians, as the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy is offering international teams the chance to use its facilities ahead of the 2012 London Games.
