The town itself offers a variety of entertainment options, including the Tivoli Theatre, which features a full program of cinema, theatre, and music events. Families can enjoy exploring the unique Model Town, a 1:10 scale replica of Wimborne from 1950, while the area also boasts an array of pubs and bars, perfect for unwinding after country walks or cozy dinners.
Beyond Wimborne, guests can venture to nearby attractions such as the scenic town of Poole, just twenty minutes away, where they can hop on a ferry to visit neighboring islands or relax on the golden beaches of Sandbanks and Bournemouth. Other notable nearby destinations include the historic county town of Dorchester, the Georgian seafront of Weymouth, and the lively market towns of Bridport and Lyme Regis. A visit to the iconic Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch, is also highly recommended, located only a forty-five-minute drive from the cottage.
