About

Wimborne Minster centres on its historic church, a former minster with a distinctive crown-topped tower.

Streets like the High Street and the Square form the commercial core, with independent shops and traditional buildings.

The area includes residential neighbourhoods extending from the town centre, alongside areas of water meadows along the riverbanks. The Priest's House Museum, a 16th-century building, and the town's working mechanical clock within the Minster are notable local features.
