Reeve the Baker to open new Wimborne location in mid-September

Eye Bridge, Wimborne

Location: Cowgrove Rd, Wimborne, BH21 4EL

About: The River Stour winds throughout Dorset, eventually reaching the sea at Hengistbury Head. A great starting point for paddleboarding through he river is at Eye Bridge, located just outside Wareham. Downstream from the bridge, a small weir marks the boundary; exploring upstream from here allows access to approximately 4 miles of scenic river. It's advisable to wear wet shoes due to the stony and uneven riverbed. Please be aware that there are no facilities at this site. Exercise caution around wildlife, particularly swans inhabiting the river.

Companies: You can find the nearest paddleboard hire, here. The location is rather remote, so taking your own is advised.

Wimborne Model Town

Where: 16 King Street, Wimborne, Dorset BH21 1DY

About: Wimborne Minster Model Town was built well over 50 years ago and the superb 1/10th scale models continue to surprise and amaze visitors from all over the world with their superb quality and realism.

After, why not test your skills on their giant outdoor chess game or try your luck on the new Putting Lawn?
