Learn more about hotels in Beaminster

Beaminster, a civil parish in Dorset, lies approximately 15 miles northwest of the county town Dorchester. Rich in history, Beaminster dates back to the 7th century with its key Saxon minster church, situated in a bowl-shaped valley by the River Brit. This enchanting town was a hub for linen and woollens production, having a deep-rooted connection with its flourishing countryside.

Notable for its stunning architecture, the Beaminster parish church, St. Mary's, showcases an impressive tower that remains a central highlight. Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, the manor itself once belonged to the See of Salisbury and was gifted to the Cathedral prebends. Today, Beaminster also serves as a significant location, being 45 miles south of Bristol and home to the production of DuPont's Nisaplin (E234).

When to visit Beaminster

The best time to explore Beaminster's breathtaking landscapes and historic attractions is during the warm summer months of July and August. Make sure not to miss the charming Mapperton House and Gardens or the insightful Beaminster Museum, both excellent choices for a family outing.

If saving money is your priority, consider travelling during the slower tourism months of November and spring. These off-peak times still offer the chance to bask in the town's picturesque setting amidst Dorset's highest peaks, while discovering its vibrant artistic scene. After a day of exploration, unwind at The Ollerod and savour exquisite locally sourced food and wine, adding the perfect touch to your Beaminster experience.
