"Excellent cooking in a grand old school building."
Overview
Originally built in 1864 as a school, The Clockspire is a truly impressive dining venue. The striking exterior is easily matched by a stunning modern interior with bare stone walls, exposed oak roof beams and a polished concrete floor. Enjoy a drink in the chic bar before sampling fine dishes from a strong seasonal menu.

About the area
Dorset is made up of rugged coastlines, high chalk downlands and a chain of picturesque villages and seaside towns that make up Britain’s Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, noted for its layers of shale and numerous fossils embedded in the rock. Hidden gems of Dorset can be found down winding, country lanes that lead to snug villages hidden from view
