Rexes Hollow

Walks, bike rides and horse rides are great ways to explore from Rexes Hollow but they're far from the only options, what with the Yeovil Steam Railway (10 minutes’ walk) being so close by. Or maybe you'd like to take a buddy for a walk instead at Cary Alpacas (20 minutes). If you’d rather stick to the wheels, the lake and woodlands around Ninesprings Country Park (five minutes’ drive/half an hour’s walk) are a splendid setting for such cycles. Or there’s Ham Hill Country Park (15 minutes' drive), a nature reserve with a Roman site and an Iron Age hill fort for a dose of history on your way around. More historical sites can be sought out locally, whether it’s a museum such as the Haynes International Motor Museum (20 minutes), the Fleet Air Arm Museum (15 minutes) or the Cerne Abbas Giant (20 minutes), a sculpture of a man etched into the side of a chalk hill from ancient times. As for some water-based action, cast your rod at Sutton Bingham Reservoir (five minutes) or head to the coast for the quiet West Bay beach (40 minutes) or golden Weymouth beach (40 minutes).
