Situation

Nestled in the heart of the Dorset National Landscape Martinstown, officially known as Winterborne St. Martin, is the quintessential English village. Characterized by its long, picturesque main street that follows the meandering River South Winterborne, it offers a perfect blend of historic charm and a thriving, friendly and active community. Village life centers around The Brewers Arms traditional public house, St. Martin’s Church – a beautiful 12th-century flint-and-stone church that overlooks the village green, the village hall, local shop and Post Office, along with a popular nearby farm shop. History and nature is right on your doorstep with Maiden Castle offering breathtaking panoramic views and miles of walking paths. Hardy’s Monument lies to the west with the landscape rising toward Blackdown, providing views that stretch across the Jurassic Coast. The surrounding "Hardy Country" is a paradise for hikers, cyclists, and equestrians, with an extensive network of bridleways and footpaths cutting through rolling chalk downs. The county town of Dorchester provides comprehensive shopping, leisure facilities and the vibrant Brewery Square development. Nearby Weymouth offers the dramatic Jurassic Coast (a unesco World Heritage site) and there are Regular mainline services to London Waterloo and Bristol run from Dorchester.
