This is a wonderful part of Dorset - rolling hills,
quiet countryside and a World Heritage Coastline all within 30 minutes
drive. This is an excellent walking and cycling area, with lots of
opportunities for golf, swimming, sailing, windsurfing (and kite surfing!),
canoeing, horse riding and rock climbing, to name but a few. Of course, it's impossible to include all the various activities and places of interest to help you plan and enjoy your stay here - these are just some that our visitors have enjoyed, as well as links to useful web sites... (ps - if you can think of others we should add, or if any of these details have changed - please let us know!) |
