The River Cerne gracefully winds its way through Cerne Abbas, meandering down the valley for about 10 miles before eventually converging with the River Frome at Dorchester. It has earned the endearing title of the "friendly river" due to the consistent bond it has shared with the villages lining its course across history. Along its tranquil journey, numerous significant landmarks have been thoughtfully erected in proximity to its banks.
