A little history
Beaminster's compact market square and honey-coloured Ham Hill stone buildings have remained largely unchanged since the 17th and 18th centuries. The town sits in a bowl of hills that has inspired writers from Thomas Hardy to John Fowles.
The market square is genuinely beautiful — one of Dorset's finest. The surrounding Dorset hills for walking. The Beaminster Tunnel for a dramatic approach from the west.
