Near the Minster is the Priest's House Museum, an historic town house dating from the 16th century. This Grade II listed building retains many original architectural features and well worth a visit. Click HERE to find out more about the Museum and other local places of interest.
The Tivoli Theatre, built in 1936, has a tradition of showing films and live stage shows. Click on the link below to see what's on.
Other attractions include the Model Town - 1950s Wimborne in miniature - and the National Trust owned Kingston Lacy House.

9 miles further  and you come to Bournemouth and Poole. Locals will argue over which has the best beaches, but you can be sure the 7 miles of golden sand that runs between the two boroughs is among the best in the country. Both towns offer good shopping and night life with many special attractions laid on during the summer.

From the Sandbanks peninsular you can take the chain ferry to Studland for the National Trust beach at Shell Bay and onwards to Swanage, Corfe Castle and the Isle of Purbeck

*****

Close by is Moors Valley Country Park with its Play Trails, Tree top Trails, Narrow Gauge Steam Railway, Golf Course and now Go Ape, a high wire forest adventure which is not for the faint hearted!
