On the outskirts of Poole and Bournemouth sits the quaint historic market town of Wimborne Minster. The town is rich with history, dating back to the beginning of the 8th-century, when the sisters of the King of the West Saxons endowed a monastery here. Since then, Wimborne has been known for being a market town, having fantastic eateries, and its rightful ‘In Bloom’ success.
Shopping and Markets
Wimborne Market has been a hotspot for people to sell their fresh produce, interact with locals, and share their products for decades. And with it being the largest undercover market in the South, it would be a shame not to take a look around. The town is avid about sustainability and hosts several second-hand shops, a repair café, and a refill store. Along with some well-known fashion brands, Wimborne hosts some lovely independent boutiques that enable you to shop around.
Food and Drink
Wimborne offers a great variety, from well-known chain restaurants and pubs, to independent local bars and cafes. So whatever you fancy, whether that be a cheese and wine tasting session in Renoufs, a light bite from one of the many beloved cafes, or a three-course meal at a cosy pub, there is something for everybody.
