The villages of Bovington and Wool are home to some of Dorset’s most loved attractions including the Tank Museum with interactive displays, Monkey World and its unique collection of primates and Clouds Hill - the former home of T.E. Lawrence (also known as Lawrence of Arabia) which is now owned by the National Trust.
If you like walking, the 7 mile Lawrence of Arabia Trail starts at the Tank Museum and follows the story of T.E. Lawrence, taking in where he worked, lived, died and is now laid to rest. The route is mostly flat and you can break your day at Moreton village where there are a couple of tearooms and a pub so you can stop for a drink or something to eat.
Wool is a small, quiet village which is well connected - the village has its own train station on the London Waterloo to Weymouth line and is on the route of the Jurassic Coaster bus (X54) linking Poole to Weymouth via the Saxon town of Wareham. The River Frome runs through the village and on its banks is the 17th century Woolbridge Manor where ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’ spent her honeymoon in Thomas Hardy’s novel of that name. There are a number of village shops, 2 pubs (and another a short distance away) plus a small country market selling local produce held every Thursday at the D'Uberville Centre on Colliers Lane.
To the east of Wool village are the remains of the 12th century Bindon Abbey (now a Wellness Retreat), with the market town of Wareham and the world famous Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door all within a short travelling distance.
