Beaminster, Dorset

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An old market town in central Dorset. The town was a centre of the cloth trade, and it boasts a fine medieval church with a 16th century tower. Many of the older buildings in Baminster were destroyed in three devastating fires during the 17th and 18th centuries, but even so there are over 200 listed buildings in the historic town centre. Just two miles away is the Tudor mansion of Mapperton House, while the superb manor and garden of Forde Abbey is only 8 miles distant.
