Wimborne Minster and the Lower Stour Valley. The bustling historic market town of Wimborne Minster lies in the picturesque water meadows of the rivers Stour and Allen. Taking its name from the gracious Minster Church of St.Cuthburga, founded in AD705, the Towers of which dominate the town. There many historic buildings and a wide range of quality shops, pubs and restaurants. The town skirts the triple-banked Iron Age defensive earthworks of Badbury Rings, centred in the earthworks of east Dorset. 

 

With five main roads radiating from it Wimborne makes an ideal centre for touring. The town was named as one of the top ten most desirable places to live in Great Britain by Country Life Magazine.

 

The surrounding countryside provides many walks and cycle trails.
