Dorset is a [[county]] in south-west [[England]], on the south coast. It was formerly known as Dorsetshire, but this usage is now outdated.  The county is famed for its Jurassic Coast, which extends into the neighbouring county of [[Devon]]. The fossilised remains of [[Dinosaurs]] are found here in abundance and some of the earliest described specimens came from the dramatic cliffs of the Dorset Coast. Principal towns in Dorset are [[Poole]], [[Bournemouth]], [[Wareham]], [[Dorchester]], [[Wimbourne Minster]] and [[Bridport]]. Near Dorchester stands the impressive [[Iron Age]] [[Hillfort]] of Maiden Castle, a man-made defensive earthen mound which is a relic of Englands [[Celtic]] past.  Dorset has borders with [[Wiltshire]], [[Somerset]], [[Hampshire]] and [[Devon]].
