I went to the tank museum on the IOW a couple of years ago, it was brilliant, they crushed a couple of mk3 astras with a Russian t14 (I think) monster thing it was.
Bits of the cars wing got wrapped round the tracks, took them ages to free it.

+1 on the tank museum, good day out.

Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove as mentioned also a good day out to.

Get yourself up onto Portland Bill, if the weather is clear its a great view from there.

Theres a Sealife Centre in Weymouth itself thats good for a visit if its raining.

Theres a pretty good museum in Dorchester and you have Maiden Castle there as well.

If your willing to come a little further, then dont overlook the Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford as well.
