Surrounded by beautiful parkland with views of the Jurassic Coast this 17th century hunting lodge was destroyed by fire in 1929 and has been externally restored and internally consolidated by English Heritage. Steeped in history the Castle has remained in the same family since 1641. Features include a gallery on the Weld family, reconstructed kitchen, dairy and laundry rooms and a wine cellar. The Chapel is reputed to be one of the finest pieces of architecture in Dorset and houses an exhibition on vestments and recusant silver.
