Further afield, the Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World are both just 4 miles away, and the beautiful coastline is easily reached within a 10-mile drive. Hunt for fossils at Kimmeridge (14.5 miles), scrambling amongst the pebbles to locate your prize, or join one of the activities organised by the Wild Seas Centre and try your hand at dolphin watching, rock pool rambling, and crabbing. No stay would be complete without taking in the magnificent sights of Lulworth Cove (11 miles) and Corfe Castle (12.5 miles), two iconic destinations for a traditional Dorset day trip.
