Wimborne Minster

Wimborne and East Dorset

The historic market town of Wimborne Minster, a Royal Peculiar, nestles peacefully on the banks of the River Stour.   The graceful towers of the Minster Church of St Cuthburga, founded in 705AD, dominate the town’s skyline.   Visitors can browse around a variety of shops and boutiques, explore the weekly market or visit one of the town’s intriguing attractions.

The nearby estate of Kingston Lacy (National Trust) includes a gracious 17th Century house, an Iron Age hill-fort and pretty thatched villages.
