Wool, Dorset

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A sizable village on the River Frome, in the Purbeck area of south Dorset. Beside the river is Woolbridge House, a 17th century manor that was the 'Wellbridge House' of Hardy's 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'. The 15th century bridge leads to a lovely old 13th century church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The partial ruins of medieval Bindon Abbey lie to the east of the village. The Tank Museum at Bovington is two miles distant.
