See and Do
Much of west Dorset is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has stunning scenery with varied and distinctive landscapes shaped over time by nature and people including the Iron Age Eggardon Hill Fort that affords far reaching views to the Jurassic Coastline and for many lies all around.
With so much diversity on the doorstep you will never be at a loss to fill your time from being active, sightseeing or just resting sitting amongst the wildflowers of the meadows, or an early morning start for the cacophony of bird-song or on a clear night marvelling at the myriad of stars.
If you are a course fishing enthusiast we have seven tiered lakes stocked with Carp, Perch, Roach, Bream and Tench. The top lake is wheelchair friendly with fishing platforms for safe access. Bed & Breakfast guests pay no charge.
Walking
There are many choices from a gentle stroll around the adjacent meadows Kingcombe Meadows - Kingcombe Centre to a half day or full day walk exploring the many public footpaths accessible from our doorstep or a short drive away. A selection of walk distances and notes is available for guests use. The local Explorer map is Cerne Abbas 171 or OL15 for the nearest Jurassic Coast.
