There are lots of places to visit from historic towns and quaint villages to the Jurassic coast and rolling countryside of the Blackmore Vale. The area offers a huge variety of sporting activities from golf, riding and rambling to clay pigeon shooting. The village of Yetminster where we are situated is described as the best stone built village in the South of England and is definitely worth taking the opportunity to stroll around its streets and a visit to the village pub.
