Wimborne Minster

About

Wimborne Minster is a historic market town in Dorset, known for its 12th-century minster church, which dominates the skyline. The town sits at the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Allen, with green spaces like the Town Mead providing open areas for walking and leisure. The High Street features a mix of independent shops, cafes, and traditional pubs, alongside Georgian and Victorian architecture.

The area has strong ties to local history, including the Wimborne Model Town, a 1/10 scale replica of the town as it appeared in the 1950s. Nearby, Badbury Rings, an Iron Age hill fort, offers walks with views over the surrounding countryside. Wimborne Minster also hosts regular markets and events, reflecting its long-standing role as a community hub in East Dorset.
