Feather Down - Wambrook Farm

Stay here and you’ll be close to the border of Somerset and Dorset – and that means plenty of things to fill your days with. An easy place to start with is of course the area just around the farm, which has lots of pretty villages to explore and trails to follow. A trip to the coast is a fine idea too – it will only take you about half an hour to drive to Lyme Regis for a fishing trip or some time on the beach, or 40 minutes to West Bay to marvel at the huge golden cliffs. Sidmouth (45 minutes) is another great option, especially if you’d like to stop at The Donkey Sanctuary (35 minutes) en route. For other days out, have a look at Forde Abbey House & Gardens (15 minutes’ drive), explore a huge collection of aircraft at Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Museum (35 minutes) or hit the rides for an action-packed day at Crealy Theme Park (40 minutes).
