The Sailor’s Return pub in the village
is a half-mile walk down the track and along the lane, passing
the village green and crossing the ford.
The pub offers a good selection of local real ales and
home-cooked food at reasonable prices, served in the bar or
restaurant. Children are welcomed in the
eating areas and large grass garden. There is plenty of parking
space.

The Countryman and Red Lion pubs at Winfrith
Newburgh are both excellent
and only four or five minutes by car. There is a village store, post office,
garage and hair salon in
Winfrith.
We particularly recommend the Weld Arms at East
Lulworth for ambience and the quality of the food.

Walkers will enjoy the small quiet valleys
which lead directly to the coast, passing several ancient
barrows and long disused farm dwellings. The views from the
ridge between Limekiln and the cliffs are spectacular, reaching
inland to central Dorset and across to the Isle of Wight and Portland Bill.
Other local attractions
include The Tank Museum,
Monkey World and
Lawrence of Arabia’s Cottage.
These are all located at Bovington
and take less than ten minutes by road.
