The Half Moon is right in the middle of an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with rich and varied history – from the first King of England, to the birth of the Trade Union movement, West Dorset has it all. When visiting join us at the Half Moon for refreshments – an evening meal, Sunday lunch, a quick bite or a great pint! These are some of our favorite activities, places to stay and locations to visit!

| | Home to the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, Mapperton is a glorious sandstone manor house and romantic valley garden deep in a lost Dorset combe among tumbling hills and unspoiled countryside. Fifteen acres of gardens descend from the croquet lawn, through the formal topiary down to the wild garden. | |
| | Roe Barn, Brock Barn, Bluebell Cottage and Buzzards Swoop self-catering holiday cottages are in a fantastic location set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within 4 miles of the famous Dorset Jurassic Coast. | |
