This is for the walkers (not the crisps) who stay. Park at Dorchester and follow the trail up to some Roman (I think) fort ruins. There are a few local pubs in the village too.

A lovely designer shopping outlet set amongst some really wonderful planting. Dior, D&G, Gucci to name but a few. Alternatively, a street pancake is very nice if your budget doesn't stretch quite that far!
