Middlemarsh is a peaceful, rural spot and ideal for a relaxing break or for those wishing to visit local attractions. The closest town is Sherborne, which is known for its long and varied history, being home to two castles and an Abbey with Saxon origins. Here you can find a good range of independent shops and eateries. Dorchester, the county town of Dorset, is 11 miles to the south and offers high street shops, two cinemas and numerous bars, cafés and restaurants. The picturesque rolling hills surrounding the village are the ideal backdrop for all manner of outdoor pursuits and also home to some unusual landmarks, including the Cerne Abbas Giant, which is well worth a visit.
