Moreton (1.5 miles)

This small village is the unlikely final resting place of Lawrence of Arabia. His grave can be found in the churchyard at St Nicholas' Church, which is itself worth a visit for its unique etched-glass windows. Take a stroll around Moreton Gardens and plant centre, or stop for a cream tea at the Tea Rooms in the old school. Moreton also makes a good start for walks in nearby Moreton Forest and along The Dorset Jubilee Trail, an 80-mile trail stretching from Forde Abbey in the west to Bokerley Dyke in the north east.

Tolpuddle (2.1 miles)

Between Dorchester and Poole, deep in Dorset’s hilly countryside, Tolpuddle is a picture postcard village of thatched cottages, leafy lanes and a pretty church. The village is famous for its Tolpuddle Martyrs, a group of agricultural workers who attempted to form the first ever trade union but whose efforts resulted in their deportation to Australia as criminals. A museum in the village now tells the tale through a series of fascinating exhibits.

Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival (2.1 miles)

Insurgent farm labourers start the first ever trade union and lobby for fair pay. It backfires, so they’re deported and become heroes. If you have a socialist bone in your body, make the day. Tony Benn and Billy Bragg are regulars. If you miss July’s festival, take refuge in the museum.
