places to visit

Beaminster’s location is ideal for discovering West Dorset, South Somerset and East Devon. There is something for everyone including historic houses and gardens, pretty country villages and family centred attractions such as Monkey World. Because there is so much locally to do we will focus on some of our favourite places we’ve visited ourselves.
