We are surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the whole of England, an absolute treasure trove for walkers of all capabilities. And because a network of pathways cross our property, you can start exploring from your doorstep.
There's a wildlife trail leading from the farm to our local village of Burton Bradstock, only 10 minutes away. From there you can join the 560-mile long South Coastal Path, one of the great national trails in the UK. And this also means it's just 20 minutes walk from our back door to one of the highlights of the entire trail – the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast. The beach at Burton Bradstock is Hive Beach with the infamous Hive Beach Cafe serving amazing seafood dishes throughout the day or teas/coffees and cakes. It was named one of the World's Five Best Fish Restaurants by the Daily Telegraph in 2012 and continues to win awards every year.
If you are walking some or all of the trail over several days we can also arrange to have your luggage forwarded on to your next stop.
We have maps and wellies in case you need them, and if you are really stuck, you can give us a call and we'll come and pick you up.
Once you are back at Graston, we offer drying facilities so you don't need to leave your wet wellies and clothes in your cottage or camp.
Take a stroll out the front gate and within 10 minutes you'll find Modbury Farm Shop. They have Angus beef and pork from their own Saddleback rare breed herds. Depending what's in season, there will be fresh farm vegetables too, along with a mouthwatering selection of ice-creams, fudges, cheeses, all from local farmers and producers. And in our local village of Burton Bradstock, the old post office has been turned into the Maydown Farm shop, with homemade cakes, as well as local meat, dairy and fresh produce.
There are also a couple of pubs in Burton Bradstock, each with its own charm. The Anchor Inn is a traditional village pub that specialises in seafood. The Three Horseshoes has more of a gastropub feel to it, with many of its ingredients sourced locally. And if you fancy pushing the boat out a bit, The Seaside Boarding House has wonderful views, with food and drink of a similar quality.
The small fishing/holiday town of West Bay is just a five minute drive away, with plenty of fresh local fish to eat and some great restaurants, including the Riverside Fish Restaurant, which prides itself on serving fresh, sustainably caught local fish and shellfish with a great view to match.
The nearest large town is Bridport - home to Palmers Brewery - the only thatched brewery in the UK. You can drink their range of local ales in many of the nearby pubs and restaurants. Drop into the brewery and you can also enjoy a tour. Bridport itself is a thriving market town with a street market every Wednesday and Saturday, along with several good independent shops.
Finally, there are some nationally famous eating places in the vicinity and easily accessible by car, such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Canteen at Axminster, and Mark Hix’s Oyster House Restaurant, which overlooks the Cobb at Lyme Regis.

By Car
We are under 10 minutes from the A35 between Bournemouth and Exeter.
Cycling
The South Coast Cycle Route runs adjacent to the farm's boundaries, making us an ideal base for cyclists looking to explore this area or complete the route.
We also have easy access to the National Cycle Route 2, and various short circular rides coming off it.
The nearest train station is Dorchester (from London, Southeast and Southwest), or Maiden Newton (from Bristol and North).
The bus route that comes closest is the X53, going from Exeter to Poole. it stops one mile from the farm outside the Anchor pub (which is good place to sit, have a drink and wait for us to pick you up, if you don't fancy walking.)
