The Vine Inn

Reviewed By willcook95 - Stourbridge, United Kingdom

Visited here on a Monday evening in December when down in Wimborne the night for work. Noticed on the map and decided to walk out to. I put my hi-vis on as the lanes are very dark! It would be a good walk in the summer. The pub is tucked away up a hill. They had 2 real ales on. The beer was good. The landlady was extremely pleasant. This is a very interesting pub. It is like stepping back in time. There aren't that many of these pubs about. I felt very welcome indeed as a non-local, it's certainly not cliquey! The locals all went out of their way to talk to me, being as I was on my own. Cannot recommend enough. I hope my travels bring me back to Wimborne again!

Wimborne Model Town

Reviewed By emmhud

We have had a fantastic day out at Wimborne model town today, our 3 year old absolutely loved it and so did us adults. Lots to do; we did a quiz to find things around the model village for a small prize, played crazy golf, giant chess, explored the garden, played in the play area, watched the model train set in action and had a picnic outside with tea from the tea room. We spent 3 hours there. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. What a great find, very highly recommended ⭐️
