This was recommended by one of our guests as a great farm shop to visit for nibbles and gin! It is also a fantastic place for a ramble across the countryside!

This is for the walkers (not the crisps) who stay. Park at Dorchester and follow the trail up to some Roman (I think) fort ruins. There are a few local pubs in the village too.

A lovely designer shopping outlet set amongst some really wonderful planting. Dior, D&G, Gucci to name but a few. Alternatively, a street pancake is very nice if your budget doesn't stretch quite that far!
