More about Mount Skippet

Dorset, England

Mount Skippet sits quietly in Dorset with plenty of room to find a good time without needing to drive far. We know the local pubs have live music on most evenings and the community hall usually runs something for the whole family. It is rare to find a place this peaceful that still manages to be so lively. The village green often hosts a market or a fair, while the library keeps things interesting with stories and sessions. Even when there is no big event planned, there is always someone playing music or hosting a quiz nearby. Near Here makes sure you know what is on before you head out for a walk in the fields.
