St Mary's Church and Chettle House

Highlight • Historical Site

This pretty church sits besides the magnificent and privately-owned Chettle House. The church bells were cast in the 14th century but the oldest part of the church itself is 16th-century. Explore the peaceful churchyard and its ancient yew tree. It's easy to catch glimpses of the neighbouring house from here as well, standing in open parkland.

Solomon's Quarter Mounds

Highlight • Structure

While Dorset has more than its fair share of long barrows and other ancient burial mounds, Solomon's Quarter looks like a particularly fascinating example. Located in a field immediately north of Eastbury House, this intriguing arrangement of earth mounds form part of the original Eastbury park.

The mounds here may look very much like the tumuli that dot the landscape but they are actually false. Instead of ancient burial mounds, they were likely created by the owners of Eastbury for aesthetic purposes.
