DESCRIPTION
Dorset is famous for it’s coastline and countryside, from the Jurassic coast to the sandy beaches of Sandbanks. Perhaps a lesser known fact is that the fertile soil is rich in clay, chalk and flint and echos the soil type found in the Champagne region of France. It is for this reason that many of the wineries in this part of the country produce many of the country’s award winning sparkling wine.
The Fairmile Vineyard, which we recommend
About Henley
The village itself is famous for its inclusion in some of Thomas Hardy’s literature, the most recognised being 'Tess of the d’Urbervilles' where the Acorn Inn is said to have been the inspiration for the Sow and Acorn and Tess Cottage (as it is now known) was where Tess stopped for refreshments on her way to Emminster. Mapperton House and Gardens is also nearby, along with the county town of Dorchester. WIth so much of the Jurassic coast to explore you can reach Durdle Door in less than half an hour.
