The countryside around Wimborne provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, including walking, cycling, exploring villages and visiting historic estates and gardens. The area is particularly appealing to visitors who want to experience Dorset’s rural landscapes rather than spending the entire day in towns or conventional tourist attractions. A country pub can provide a useful stopping point during an outdoor day, whether for lunch, dinner or refreshments. The Cockerel can be incorporated into an itinerary that combines outdoor activities with a relaxed meal. Whether travelling as a couple, family or group, East Dorset offers plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors.
