Things to do on site and in the Dorchester area

The area is strongly associated with Thomas Hardy - the Hardy Way (a 200+ mile walking route exploring the Wessex area shown by the author, visiting many Hardy locations) passes through the village. Hardy's birthplace and his cottage are within a 30-minute drive.

From here, you can explore the local historic towns and villages like the Roman town of Dorchester with its Roman Town House or Sherborne (both 20 minutes' drive) with its mellow-stone Georgian houses, stately abbey and two castles.

Discover Dorset's historic towns and villages and see the famous Cerne Abbas Giant, 15 minutes away.

Fishing lakes can be found in the area, too.

The coast is easily accessible. Weymouth is a 30-minute drive away with an excellent beach, Sealife Centre, shops and restaurants, and Chesil beach (35 minutes). Or why not get the kids hunting for fossils at Charmouth (45 minutes) on the spectacular Jurassic Coast.
