Local attractions

Lively Shaftesbury (10 minutes’ drive) has plenty going on; let the kids loose in the large play park, swim laps of the outdoor pool at Shaftesbury Lido and climb cobbled Gold Hill – made famous by the ‘Hovis’ advert – for views across Dorset hills and valleys from Park Walk. Back down in town, browse the antiquarian bookshops before sampling some scrumpy cider in a local pub. See more of Dorset on a cycle ride or hike along the North Dorset Trailway (25 minutes’ drive), or have a wander through the folly-filled water gardens at National Trust-owned Stourhead (20 minutes). Fonthill Lake (15 minutes) is another pretty spot for family rambles around the shoreline. You might also like to visit two big-hitting attractions close by. Spend the day at Longleat on driving safaris through big-cat enclosures, or book ahead to see our near-cousins up close on Gorilla Island. One of the biggest neolithic sites in Europe, the mighty megaliths at Stonehenge (both half an hour) should also be on your radar; learn more about the stones at the interactive visitor centre.
