Hotels in Wimborne Minster

This market town in East Dorset is named after the Church of England worship place that stands above the pretty village. Thrill-seeking families can head to Go Ape! at Moors Valley and enjoy some aerial fun with its 3-hour adventure across swings, zip wires and treetop ropes. For those who like a gentler pace, meander through 1950s Wimborne in miniature at the Wimborne Model Town and Gardens.

Serving up local produce since 1855, Wimborne Market is the largest indoor market in the south of England. As well as some best of British cheese, meats and vegetables, there's a hardy offering of household goods, bric-a-brac and vintage clothes and jewellery. Once a week, the market expands its offering to include a carboot, where you can pick up some great bargains and some tips on things to see and do from the local vendors.
