I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

You could of choose to continue up along the grove, alongside the Roman Defensive Ditch and Bank system but you'd be with the traffic so taking a right here and going through the Industrial Estate avoids all the traffic and brings you up onto the road that takes you to Poundbury

Good place to stop and rest

Stopped here couple of times. Friendly and good service with good food. Made to feel very welcome even when very wet. Good local/community feel. Seemed to be a knitting master class on one visit - knit and natter perhaps. Say hello to the horse who will be pleased to see you - probably expecting food...

This small church consists solely of a nave and chancel. The original elements preserved from the 12th century are the chancel arch and the doorway.

Most of this church was rebuilt in the late 19th century, like many others in the area. Sir George Gilbert Scott and his son were responsible for this project, with the latter creating the perpendicular-style tower, which is the most striking feature of the building.

Set in the rolling hills of the Somerset and Dorset border. There are lots of pretty wildflowers and great views across the lovely blue waters, which attract a wide variety of butterflies such as Small Skipper and Marble White.
