This delightful hamlet of cottages and farms is often referred to as the capital of Marshwood Vale. The shrine site for the remains of a 13th century saint make Whitchurch Canonicorum a pilgrimage worthy spot. The fact that this shrine survived after the reformation era order that all shrines were to be ordered to be destroyed make it a particularly special site and people from all over would come to pay respect and seek remedies for their afflictions.
Visit the shrine
Take a walk through the peaceful hamlet and along the country roads to the Church of Candida and Holy Cross to see where the remains of Saint Whit. The shrine can be found in the north wall of the transept and has three large openings for pilgrims to insert heads, hands, arms or feet and hope to be cured.
Take in a play
The Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis just a few miles away is a wonderful spot to spend an evening. The bar looks over The Cobb and the theatre itself dates back to the 1800s. A weekly list of cinematic and theatrical events can be found on the website.
