Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A small village near the Dorset border with Wiltshire. Cranborne boasts a marvelous 13th century church. The village once sat amid the royal forest of Cranborne Chase, now long gone. Many monarchs came to Cranborne while hunting in the forest, and James I and his son Charles I are known to have stayed at the Cranborne Manor here. Though the manor is not open for visitors, the manor gardens can be visited on specified days.
