Local places to visit

Heritage Coast Centre (Charmouth)

Discover fossils and the wonders of the sea at the Heritage Coast Centre. Join a guided walk for expert information on where and how to find fossils and the history of the area. This coastline is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast from East Devon to East Dorset. 95 miles of beautiful landscape.

Moores Biscuit Factory (Morcombelake)

Moores Biscuits are found beside the main A35 in the village of Morcombelake. A family run business that is unique that it is the only place that makes Dorset Knob Biscuits. Visit the biscuit shop to see the other varieties made and local produce and crafts also on sale.


The Shrine of St Wite (Whitchurch Canonicorum)

Dating from the early 13th Century, this unique shrine in the church is said to have healing powers and is a place of pilgrimage for many. Wonderful to say that after 1000 years St Wite is still exercising her ancient role as helper of the sick. The only other intact pre-reformation shrine is in Westminster Abbey.
