Wimborne Minster

Highlight • Religious Site

Wimborne Minster is an atmospheric market town with a 1300 year old church of cathedral-like proportions. the stained glass windows, the organ with trumpets above and the astronomical clock alone are worth a visit.

Took a break at this stream and enjoyed the scenery. You need to cross the stream via a ford which I guess means getting a bit wet when it floods - no problem on the day I cycled over it.

Great Bridge, Fordingbridge

Highlight • Bridge

At the heart of this market town is the Great Bridge, a seven-arch medieval stone bridge that spans the River Avon. Built around 1200, it was expanded in the Victorian era and remains a main road in the town.

The best views of the bridge are not whilst on it, although crossing it on foot does give you lovely views of the river. The George pub has a beer garden that looks directly across to the bridge or there’s a park opposite, on the east side of the Avon which also has great views.
