The area around Wimborne has plenty of opportunities for visitors who want to discover lesser-known countryside, villages, independent businesses and local attractions. Exploring beyond the most obvious tourist destinations can provide a more relaxed experience of Dorset and reveal quieter places to walk, eat and explore. The Cockerel can form part of this type of itinerary, providing a countryside destination for lunch or dinner after discovering the surrounding area. East Dorset is particularly well suited to creating your own day out, combining well-known attractions with quieter rural stops. This allows visitors to experience a more authentic and unhurried side of Dorset.
