Romantic Places to Visit

A sand and shingle beach in a rural setting.

This beach is reached by steps that run down the wooded cliff from the castle grounds. There are good views to the Isle of Wight and the sand and water are clean and safe.

An isolated cottage in the heart of Dorset bought by Lawrence of Arabia as a retreat.

The austere rooms of the cottage are much as Lawrence left them with many of his personal possessions, and reflect his complex personality and close links with the Middle East.

The only exhibition of its kind on Tutankhamun outside Egypt.

The world's greatest discovery of Ancient Treasure -Tutankhamun's tomb, treasures and mummy are superbly recreated in this internationally renowned exhibition - spanning time itself.

Once the home of Sir Walter Raleigh, the imposing castle and stunning gardens sit within a Capability Brown influenced landscape. The perfect place either for picnics, for walking and to visit the interior of this historic Castle.

Set in 40 acres of glorious 'Capability' Brown landscaped gardens around a 50 acre lake, the Castle contains a splendid collection of art, furniture and porcelain. Built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594, Sherborne Castle has been the home of the Digby family since 1617. Prince William of Orange was entertained here in 1688, and George III visited in 1789.
