About

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

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.
