within a short distance are the cliffs of the world famous Jurassic
Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site including Golden Cap, the highest point on
the south cliffs of England, and unspoilt hills, rivers and picturesque villages of West Dorset.
We are also very close to fossil hunters paradise at Charmouth
- visit the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre and the 'Pearl of Dorset' -
Lyme Regis. The market town of Bridport is well worth a visit, especially on
Market days, Wednesdays and Saturdays - it has an abundance of first
class restaurants, coffee bars and pubs. Browse the bric-a-brac stalls
for a bargain or visit the monthly Farmers Market where you can sample
the local produce, you might meet Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall our
local celebrity chef from nearby River Cottage Centre HQ.
Explore
Thomas Hardy's 'Wessex' made famous in many of his stories
and poems from Highway Farm and there's an abundance of beaches
nearby to visit and enjoy.
The farmhouse
overlooks a secluded valley with two well-stocked coarse fishing
lakes. The woods and hazel hedgerows provide home to a wealth of
wildlife. While you enjoy a hearty home-cooked breakfast, made from
the best local products, you may see roe deer, buzzards, pheasants and
foxes to name a few.
