The Sailor’s Return pub in the village
is a half-mile walk and 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 the garden.

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.

which lead directly to the coast, passing several ancient
barrows and long disused farm dwellings. The views hills
between Limekiln and the cliffs are spectacular reaching
