Wonderful place to go for breakfast! Cross the bridge over the river and sit by the windows with delicious breakfast and great coffee. In winter, sit by the fireplace. In summer, sit outside and watch the ducks and rowers out in the water.

Brilliantly tucked away right in the hills, a great courtyard cafe for afternoon tea scones with lashings of cream from their cows, and delicious jam. Walk along the coast path, down through Seatown and up the cliffs the other side. At the Beacon, turn left and start walking inland and you will reach Downhouse Farm!

The most delicious, local food is served here, in a stunning estate house. A brilliant place to go for an anniversary, or birthday, or special occasion. I recommend dining in the main room and then taking dessert/tea and cake in one of the living rooms by a roaring fire.
It will be an expensive dining experience, but worth every penny!

Great place to watch the sunset.
There's also been a new addition to Stonebarrow recently, a sweet pop-up cafe offering coffee and sweet treats -- perfect for that end-of-walk nibble! Called 'Crazy Cow', it can be found by parking in the car park nearest the entrance and walking a short way down the main track :)

Beautiful, old beech trees. A steep walk to get to the top so be ready! But once up there, loads of fun rope swings from the trees so worth the lung work! A stunning, special place.

Lovely place for lunch. A gorgeous, old estate (was used in the most recent re-make of Far From The Madding Crowd with Carey Mulligan). You can wander through the estate gardens, watch the goldfish swim amongst the lilies in the Victorian swimming pools, and peek into the Orangery.
