Gorwell Farm

Relax, unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Gorwell Farm, an family organic beef and sheep farm. Situated in our own scenic wooded valley, we are only 1.5 miles from the historical village of Abbotsbury and Chesil Beach. Comfortable, cosy, spacious cottages and barn conversions with log fires are all very well-equipped for any time of year. Spring time is lovely with the woods full of bluebells and birdsong, the summer months are spectacular along this stunning coastline, the autumn is wonderful for walks, rich colours and a relaxing break before we go into the winter. The winter months here tend to have a mild climate and in this quiet county you can escape from the hustle and bustle, enjoy long walks and then come back to a warm comfortable cottage with a roaring log fire. Dorset really is a county for all seasons and Gorwell is a secret haven within the county.

Abbotsbury Sub Tropical Gardens (Abbotsbury)
Established in 1765 by the first Countess of Ilchester as a kitchen garden to her nearby castle. Developed since then into a magnificent 20 acre garden filled with rare and exotic plants from all over the world. Most of these were new introductions to this country, found by the plant hunting descendants of the Countess. A mixture of formal and informal, with charming walled garden walks and spectacular woodland valley views. World famous for its Camellia Groves & Magnolias, noted for its Rhododendrons and Hydrangea collections.
