Rather pleased to see this article by the Dorset Echo about Cerne Abbas mentioning our favourite places to visit whilst staying in the village. The Abbey, St Augustine's Well in the churchyard, The Giant still being a mystery as to it's origin, The Brewery, of course, and not forgetting a walk around this gem of a village

Book to stay at Raleigh's right in the heart of the village
Walkable to three pubs, village shop and other attractions above.

Here are five reasons why you should visit the small but interesting Dorset village of Cerne Abbas

My heart lifts when I read reviews of Raleigh’s in Cerne Abbas Dorset on the holidaycottages.co.uk’s site.

Thanks you Mr C for your super succinct review:-

“Lovely historic cottage in a beautiful West Dorset village. Spotlessly clean and situated perfectly in the High Street. Parking good. Lovely walks and pubs nearby”

A lovely review left by Mr B who stayed at Raleigh’s in July sums up the house perfectly!

“Raleigh’s is a charming 16th Century half timbered house with a very tasteful interior with lots of old furniture and decorative items. The kitchen and sitting room are very spacious as are the bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and opens out to a small private courtyard garden.
Raleigh’s is located in picture perfect village of Cerne Abbas with 3 pubs and an excellent village shop.
We would highly recommend the house to all holiday makers who appreciate a combination of old fashioned charm and modern amenities”

We would like to thank all our guests at Raleigh’s in 2024 and hope that we’ll see you again next year
Happy Christmas
Best wishes

Another Dorset gem. We love the Jurassic Coast and so easy to explore from Raleighs, Cerne Abbas

Chapmans Pool is a secluded horseshoe shaped cove on the Isle of Purbeck. With it's remote and rugged landscape it is one of Dorset's best beaches.

📣 Exciting new opportunity for an artist (or collaboration of artists), to work with us to create a Sitting Space along a new Food Trail being created in the Dorset National Landscape.

Our challenge is to design and create a temporary, seasonal or permanent seating installation along the Food Trail, as well as curate some audience engagement for the new space.

The aim is to encourage a wider range of people to connect with the landscape and food heritage of the area. What better way than making creative space to sit down and take time to enjoy Dorset's outstanding landscape!

The total budget for this commission is £20,000, with an additional £1000 available for each of the 3 shortlisted artists to work up initial ideas. Deadline for expressions of interest is 9th April 2024.

The new Food Trail is a project by the Dorset National Landscape team as part of Dorset Council’s delivery of the Rural England Prosperity Fund.
