Wootton Fitzpaine is a tiny village just to the north-east of Lyme Regis. It’s enviable position close to the Marshwood Vale, in a boutique side valley close of the River Char offers up the chance for a day or two exploring the countryside and nearby Monkton Wyld Court. The red brick manor Wootton Fitzpaine Manor House houses the church within it’s grounds and the remnants what was once a medieval deer park.
South West Deer Rescue, Crewkerne
Just 8 miles from Wootton Fitzpaine a chance to visit the wild and semi-wild deer whose ancestors may very well have roamed the grounds at the Manor House. The Deer Rescue centre is a non-profit centre where families can get up close and personal with 5 different species of deer. This is a day trip that will really appeal to any nature lovers as the deer are not the only residents on the 100 acre site. Other inhabitants of this section of countryside are badgers, Buzzards, Owls and fabulous red foxes. Lucky visitors have been known to see some of these other animals from inside the hide to the side of the hill. Make sure to wrap up warm when visiting as the park is open to the elements.
Golden Cap Estate
Grab the dog and the kids and head off to the wonderful coastal and countryside surrounded Golden Cap Estate. You’ll feel the burn when you climb to the highest point of the South Coast but the view that greets you will more than make up for it.
