Enjoyable and informative visit to Furleigh Estate the home to a award winning vineyard nestled in beautiful Dorset countryside and just 3 mile from the Blackbird Cottage. Thanks to Nick who gave us an entertaining tour around the vineyard and wine making process we finished off with a tasting of 3 delicious wines. This is a must for any wine enthusiast looking to find out about great English wines.

Local beaches
The scenery at West Bay is truly spectacular, the golden cliffs rise 50m vertically above the beach and the views towards Chesil Beach and Portland will take your breath away. TV buffs will recognise this beach from ITV crime drama, Broadchurch. @risecafebar is a cool place to eat with lovely views of the River Brit we also love @catchofthedayatwestbay for great fish & chips.
