HORTON

Cranborne 4 miles; Wimborne Minster 6 miles.

The tiny village of Horton is blissfully situated between the chalk downland of Cranborne Chase and the heathland of the New Forest, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Once a royal hunting ground, the surrounding area hosts an array of picturesque villages where you can sample cream teas and real ales and explore miles of lovely footpaths. Discover the ruins of Knowlton Church, Bradbury Rings, or Horton Tower, a gothic, red brick observatory. Enjoy a round of golf at nearby Rushmore, visit the pretty Larmer Tree Gardens, or indulge in a spot of wine tasting at Horton Vineyard. Take a short drive to Wimborne Minster, renowned for its Art Deco Theatre, 3 day covered market and annual folk festival. A little further afield, the remarkable, historic Salisbury Cathedral, a world class attraction, is well worth a visit, whilst the mystical New Forest National Park and the stunning Jurassic Coast are a must! You'll be spoilt for choice in this lovely part of Dorset.
