Just 10 miles north of Wimborne through the amazing two-mile-long beech avenue road at Kingston Lacy, the Hall & Woodhouse brewery is well worth a visit.

Our passionate and knowledgeable guides can relate our history and the whole beer-making process. You can get a good look around the brewery and see the stages of the brewing process in action.

Finish the tour with a pint in the Brewery Tap bar and then visit the brewery shop and stock up on our numerous award-winning beers. An absolute centrepiece of any visit to Dorset.

Badbury Rings is an Iron Age hill fort in east Dorset and was in the territory of the Durotriges.

In the Roman era, a temple was located immediately west of the fort, and there was a Romano-British town known as Vindocladia a short distance to the southwest.

The site is currently owned by the National Trust with entry free of charge.

Kingston Lacy house and gardens is an excellent location for a relaxing afternoon out in Dorset. Explore the grounds, wonder round the shop before enjoying a coffee and cake at the cafe. There is also a children’s play area, making this an ideal choice for a family day out.

The Minster is the parish church of Wimborne; it has existed for over 1,300 years and is recognised for its unusual chained library (one of only five surviving chained libraries in the world).

The Minster is a former monastery and Benedictine nunnery, and King Æthelred (Ethelred) of Wessex (brother of Alfred the Great) is buried there.
