The
village of Farnham, built to house the estate workers, is still full of thatched
and estate cottages and has an ‘untouched’ look. A short distance away
are the Larmer Tree Gardens, created in the 1800s by
General
Pitt-Rivers, containing a number of unusual oriental buildings,
including an open air theatre and Roman temple, providing today, as it
did nearly two centuries ago, an exciting venue for live theatre,
festivals and concerts.
Although off the beaten track, the house is only a ten minute stroll to the village pub, full of character and atmosphere with
great food and drink. We are only 5 minutes by car from the Rushmore
Golf Club situated in the heart of Rushmore
Estate and a 10 minute drive from Compton
Abbas Airfield & Flying Club
where you can view the breath taking scenery by air.
We are very centrally
located within a 30 minute drive to Poole, Bournemouth, Dorchester &
Salisbury
as well as short distance from The
Saxon town of Shaftesbury,
the Georgian town of Blandford
Forum and the historic town of Wimborne
Minster.
