Independent schools details www.isc.co.uk. State schools information www.dorsetforyou.com
LOCAL AND RECREATIONAL
Plentiful walking, cycling and riding opportunities in the surrounding beautiful rolling countryside, which has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Little has changed since Thomas Hardy immortalised the area in his novel Tess of the D’Ubervilles, particularly due to the careful stewardship of the nearby Ilchester Estate, whose policies have helped to preserve its rural character. Hunting is with the Cattistock. Racing is at Wincanton. Numerous golf courses within motoring distance. Sailing, sea fishing and watersports on the World Heritage Designated Jurassic Coast (location of the 2012 Olympics). For further tourism and leisure information see www.visit-dorset.com
