Surrounded by rolling countryside, within this designated Area of Outstanding Beauty and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, this is a truly wonderful location. Stroll around the many beautiful walks in the countryside on our doorstep.  You can also experience the  spectacular views of the South West Coast Path on the nearby Jurassic Coast.    Winfrith Newburgh is the perfect destination for either a short day trip or, by selecting one of the many  accommodation outlets in the area, you can extend your stay to experience some of the many wonderful  sights and views on offer in this beautiful, unspoilt part of Dorset.  So spend some time in looking through our site, using the links at the top of the  page.  Whether you are a parishioner or a visitor we hope you find this site informative  and useful.
