Rich in history, this wonderful place offers the opportunity to visit the Roman Town House and Amphitheatre, a selection of boutique shops and a range of excellent restaurants. Meanwhile, other attractions that make a great day trip include Minterne House and Gardens which feature beautiful gardens in the style of Capability Brown, while the lovely village of Cerne Abbas is worth a visit to see the giant chalk figure carved into the hills.

The nearest beach is in Weymouth, only around 25 minutes’ drive away from the house. Around a 15-minute drive away is the pretty town of Sherborne with its historic Sherborne Abbey and two castles, one being a stately home and the other an impressive 12th-century ruin. It’s a great place to dine and shop in independent stores, plus there are regular farmers’, artisan and vintage markets.
