Wimborne Minster is an atmospheric market town with a 1300 year old church of cathedral-like proportions. the stained glass windows, the organ with trumpets above and the astronomical clock alone are worth a visit.

Wimborne Minster and Chained Library

Highlight • Religious Site

This church has all manner of interesting features and is well worth visiting. For a start the King of Wessex is buried here; he ruled from 865 to 871, which gives you an idea of the age of this fine church. There's also a rare exampled of a chained library within the church's walls, a store of books on chains to prevent theft.

Eye Bridge, Wimborne

Highlight • River

Eye Bridge in Wimborne is on the River Stour. It has plenty of parking right next to the river, however, it can quickly fill up on a summers weekend.
Eyebridge is a lovely spot to Paddleboard, you can head up stream for a good 5+ miles and there’s also a pub stop off at the end (Coventry Arms) if you fancy it.
