Map & Directions

View Map

Road Directions

Smedmore is roughly 2 to 2.5 hrs by car from London, down the M3 and M27 to Wimborne and Wareham, then turn right off the Wareham bypass for Kimmeridge. Do not go on to Corfe Castle. Follow the signs to Kimmeridge and just before you drop down into the village, turn left up up the private drive to Smedmore.  Do not trust Sat-Nav for the final minutes of your journey, as the private drive is often not shown. Also do not rely on Google maps or The AA.com as they will take you through Kingston and  Encombe along a bridleway which is not accessible to  vehicles.

Public Transport Directions

By Rail

There are trains direct from Waterloo, London, to Wareham twice an hour every day.  The trip takes around 2½ hours with South West Trains.

Taxis

Rural Dorset has good taxi cover.  Taxi firms will wait to collect passengers at Wareham Train Station and will collect from Smedmore House  and there is also a local firm in the village. Taxis can also be booked for airport collections / departures from London Heathrow and Gatwick. See our website for further taxi information.
