Dorset has many areas that have been designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It has a generally hilly landscape, with chalk downs stretching across the west of the county.
Among the ruins left from Anglo-Saxon times are those of Corfe Castle, a seat of the Saxon kings of
Wessex. Dorset is home to the famous Cerne Abbas Giant, a huge figure of a naked man cut into the
turf on a chalk hillside.
