Church of St Nicholas
Highlight • Religious Site
This Grade II* listed beauty was rebuilt in 1840 by architect Lewis Vulliamy. It’s famously stylish, featuring striking bands of flint and Portland stone that make it look like it’s wearing a very expensive designer sweater.
Silver Screen Famous: It’s so picturesque that it was used for the final wedding scene in the 1996 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
The "Pencil" Spire: Unlike its neighbors' sturdy square towers, this one sports a slender, elegant spire that pierces the Dorset sky with real Victorian confidence.
Estate Chic: It sits slightly isolated on a hill above the Winterborne stream, serving as the "typical estate church" for the nearby Whatcombe House and the magnificent Clenston Manor.
Interior Charm: Inside, it’s a masterclass in the "Perpendicular" style—lots of vertical lines, light-filled windows, and an atmosphere that says, "I am small but perfectly formed."

View from Bulbarrow Hill
Highlight • Viewpoint
On a clear day you can see as far as the Severn Bridge to the west crossing into Wales. At the top there's a scenic, undulating lane that's a bit like a balcony over Dorset.
