[LouiseTopp]

Can anyone tell me what Wimbourne in Dorset is like please? I am thinking of visiting, can anyone recommend some good places to take shots? Many thanks.

Hi Louise,

It's way too long since I was there, but have you seen:

or

or

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimborne_Minster

So to answer your question, the Minster and Model Village are the two candidates, perhaps the Folk Festival too, if you go on 13-15 June 2014, although I've not been to any.

Cheers,

Louise - if you are in to architecture / parklands / gardens there's a rather nice country house - Kingston Lacy - just a mile or two west of Wimbourne.

Thanks for the links, is Kingston Lacy in walking distance from the town?

I don't have a car and will be using public transport. Thanks for the inks Dave, the first one doesn't sem to work.

Louise - it's about 3 miles - apparently there is a bus service 328 from Wimborne High Street to Kingston Lacy on Friday and Saturday only. More info at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/kingston-lacy/
