Hinton St Mary is a picturesque village in the heart of Dorset’s rolling countryside, steeped in history and known for its peaceful ambience. The village is home to charming cottages and a historic 12th-century church, as well as the famous Roman mosaic, one of Britain’s most important Roman discoveries. Visitors can also enjoy the recently renovated White Horse pub, a 16th-century Grade II-listed gem featuring original wooden beams, stone-flagged floors, and cosy log-burning fires.
Though small, the village offers essential amenities. Outdoor enthusiasts will love exploring the nearby walking and cycling trails, while the neighbouring town of Sturminster Newton provides additional conveniences such as supermarkets, cafés, and a weekly market. For more adventure, explore the scenic River Stour or cycle through the rolling countryside. History lovers can visit the Sturminster Newton Mill or Shaftesbury’s iconic Gold Hill. Nature enthusiasts can discover the stunning Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or take a day trip to the Jurassic Coast for coastal walks and fossil hunting.
With its serene charm, rich history, and an abundance of nearby activities, Hinton St Mary offers the perfect countryside retreat.
