YETMINSTER
This lovely Dorset village built almost entirely of honey coloured limestone, has a timeless and serene atmosphere. This comes partly from the age of its houses - many of which date back to the C17th - but also from its lack of major through traffic.
The station is just a few steps from the village centre. Turn right from the Railway Inn towards the village centre. The well stocked Oak House Store (stop and try the cheese or indulge in locally produced cakes and biscuits) is at the hub of village life. From here turn left to visit St Andrews Church whose 300 year old faceless clock chimes the national anthem six times a day, or continue along the street to the village Post Office which doubles as a tourist information point - next door to an excellent butchers.

YETMINSTER FAIR 
SATURDAY 9TH JULY 2005
The village comes vibrantly to life for one of the oldest street fairs in Wessex which has been running almost continuously since the C13th. The lively atmosphere of this special day in the village calendar adds to the charm of the old stone houses and manors, and is like stepping back in time.
