Welcoming and refreshments good.

The church dates from Norman times and the chancel arch is of Early Norman architecture. Outside is a very rare thirteenth century Dole Table, from pre-Reformation times when charitable doles of bread were distributed to the poor. Inside the south entrance is a fifteenth century carving of a king and crowned woman giving bread to children. The north and south aisle date from the fourteenth century, and there are two hagioscopes (squints) on the southern side of the chancel arch, which would have given a view of the high alter. Above the squints there is a fifteenth century doorway, which when reached by a wooden stair, would have led to the roof loft. The south doorway within the porch is also fifteenth century and features elaborate carving.

At an elevation of 915 feet (279 meters), this is the highest point in Dorset, from where you can take in the beautiful surrounding countryside through the trees. For a long time, it was believed that Pilsdon Pen was the highest point in Dorset, but relatively recently, it was discovered that Lewesdon Hill stands two meters higher.

This hill takes its name from the Old English, meaning 'wheat hill.' It has a Roman fort of the Second Legion on a narrow east-west ridge, at an elevation of 210 meters.

The church in Netherbury is very welcoming. The cemetery and especially the old part in the forest is very picturesque.

The Church of St Mary is a Grade I-listed church in the heart of Powerstock. It was built in the 12th century and its tower was added in the 15th century. Inside, you can observe a 13th-century font and monuments from throughout the centuries.

This is actually the church of Saints Peter and Andrew but it's more commonly known under the name of the latter. With the oldest section dating back to the start of the 14th century, this church has been standing for a considerable time. It has a drooping chancel, where the chancel arch is uneven. This style is thought to represent Jesus' head on the cross and is typical of Saxon churches, indicating that this building may stand on the site of an even earlier church.
