The Springhead Pub

Highlight • Pub

A real gem of a pub in beautiful surroundings and the foods excellent. Check their website out for the deals they do on certain nights like their curry and steak nights.

Some of England's chalk hill carvings are difficult to see, either only visible from fast roads or too high to get a good vantage point from anywhere but the air. Not so for Osmington.

This carving is quite youthful, created in 1808, and can be easily seen from the footpaths immediately south near Osmington village. You can ascend the hill too, if you want to see the chalk cutting up close.

This is a great point from which to take a photograph, particularly if you can line up a nearby grazing horse in the shot. It's almost as if they know.

Victorian Water Pump, Osmington

Highlight • Monument

It seems hard to imagine now, with a multitude of taps and flushes in our homes, that there was a time not that long ago where you had to go to a pump to fetch water. However, there are innumerable Victorian (and older) water pumps still standing at village squares and roadsides to remind us. In the mid-1800s, there were three water pumps in Osmington carrying water from the pumping station at nearby Sutton Poyntz. Today, just this one remains.

St Osmund's Church

Highlight • Historical Site

This church is the oldest building in the village and dates back to the late 12th century.
In the mid-19th century, it underwent restoration by Benjamin Ferney.
