This is the surviving part of a 14th-century castle, a rambling wing of great interest and charm, deep in Hardy country just outside Dorchester. Its roof has one of the largest expanses of thatch in the county. Just one side of the quadrangular castle, built in 1370 and probably added to an existing group of buildings, remains today.

Nice to look at although you cannot go into the grounds. I think you can rent it through the Landmark Trust.
Woodsford Castle is a rare survivor of one side of a medieval fortified manor house.
Standing near the River Frome the thatched roof is reputed to be the largest in Dorset.
There is a convenient to pull in to have look.
