If you fancy a delicious locally sourced beef burger (also do vegi options, chicken etc) we would highly recommend BDWs. Originally started by local farmers it is a family run restaurant, great food, and atmosphere. Ideal to Tack on a visit to Wells Cathedral, the Bishops Palace before or afterwards.

Sea and Beach

If you are here for a longer stay, the Dorset coast is just over an hours drive away. Visit Burton Bradstock for beach and seaside, Brideport or Lyme Regis for delicious fish restaurants. Travel a little further (90mins) to Lulworth cove and wonderful sea side walking.
