Greygles is set on the edge of a quiet village in the middle of rural Dorset. So it is wonderful for walking/hiking the gentle hills of the region. 
 
But of course there is a wealth of other attractions. Within half an hour's drive is the dramatic Jurassic Coast, Weymouth where the 2012 Olympics sailing events will be held, a series of lovely old towns, gardens, abbeys, Iron Age hill forts, and attractions which include an ancient Swannery, Monkey House, Butterfly Kingdom and even a Tank Museum.

Travel Options
  • Nearest Airport : London Heathrow at 100 miles distance;
  • Nearest Train Station : Dorchester at 10 miles distance
  • Nearest Town : Dorchester at 10 miles distance
  • Travel Info: By car - Greygles and the whole of Dorset are mercifully distant from motorways and trunk roads but nonetheless easily accessible. Around 2 ½ hours drive from London or 3 hours from the Midlands. And once there, delightful towns like Dorchester, Blandford Forum and Sherborne are only 15-25 minutes away. Anywhere on the coast between Lulworth and Abbotsbury, including Weymouth, the Olympic sailing venue, is about 30 minutes' drive. By public transport, there are trains to Dorchester and then bus or taxi to Melcombe Bingham. By plane, Heathrow is the nearest large airport but Southampton (50 miles) and Bournemouth (30 miles) also offer international flights.
