It is also within easy reach of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast including Swanage, Corfe Castle, Lulworth, Abbotsbury and Lyme Regis. A file of over thirty walks and cycle rides in the area has been provided within the property but there are many more to be discovered.

Two designated off-road parking spaces are provided adjacent to the property's pretty courtyard garden in which you will find a garden table, chairs and parasol. This is a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or maybe just an aperitif before visiting one of the many pubs and restaurants within a short drive of Charlton Down.

A TV (including Sky freeview), a DVD player and a hi-fi unit are provided for your enjoyment.

There are various playgrounds for young children, the nearest just yards from the property while a zip-wire and other activities can be found in the field beyond the cricket ground. Dorchester has an extensive selection of museums relative to it’s size covering everything from teddybears, dinosaurs and Tutenkamun to military history, the justice system and the history of Dorset and it’s fascinating past.
