Cerne Abbas is located between Dorchester and Sherborne in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was the site of an important Benedictine abbey and is a thriving village, identified as Abbots-Cernel by the author Thomas Hardy. The village is known for the Cerne Abbas Giant, a 55-metre high naked figure carved into the chalk hillside. It is within easy reach of Weymouth, Bridport, Shaftsbury and Blandford Forum and the stunning Jurassic Coast.
