Langton Herring, Dorset DT3
Higher Farm and Estate enjoys a wonderfully elevated setting amidst the rolling countryside of the Dorset National Landscape (formerly the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Neighbouring the worldrenowned Jurassic Coast - designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the estate lies within one of the most celebrated stretches of rural and coastal scenery in southern England. The Jurassic Coast offers exceptional walking and dramatic seascapes, while nearby the Fleet Lagoon provides fantastic wildlife watching and Chesil Beach allows for water sports, sailing and sea fishing.
The village of Langton Herring has a thriving community and is centred around its parish church, village hall and the successful community pub, The Elm Tree Inn. Everyday essentials can be found in the neighbouring villages of Chickerell and Portesham, both of which provide wellstocked village stores, while the thriving towns of Weymouth and Dorchester offer an extensive range of shops, restaurants, cultural venues and services.
Schooling in the area is excellent. A choice of primary schools lies in the surrounding villages, with respected secondary schools in both Weymouth and Dorchester. Independent options include Milton Abbey, Leweston, the Sherborne schools and Bryanston, all within convenient reach.
Mainline rail services from Weymouth and Dorchester run directly to London Waterloo taking 2 3/4 hours or less, while Bournemouth and Exeter Airports - each a little over an hour by car - provide domestic and international connections.
