Pamphill is a village in Dorset, situated to the north-east of Wimborne Minster. It is four miles north of Poole, and has roughly 700 inhabitants. It is on a side road off of the B3082 road from Wimborne Minster to Blandford.
The fact that Pamphill is off the main road makes it very peaceful and means roads are quiet and safer than other villages. You have to look carefully for signposts, otherwise you may miss the turning.
Pamphill is a conservation area, and many of the buildings in Pamphill are Grade II Listed.
The village is very picturesque. Has many old-fashioned thatched cottages. There is a picturesque church, a cricket ground, a Church of England Primary School, local farm shop, dairy (where you can have a cream tea) and a quaint little pub.
Not too far away from the village is Kingston Lacey Manor. This is a large 17th-century house renowned for its amazing paintings inside. It is owned by the National Trust. There is a charge to visit the Manor.
The Blue-Bell Forest
It is definitely worth a visit to see their famous ‘Blue-bell Woods’ of Abbott Street Copse. There are literally thousands of bluebells covering the woods, making it look like a carpet of blue. It is very spectacular, and something you have to see to believe. It gives the woods a fairy-tale feel to it. The trees cover give complete coverage and you feel immersed in a world of blue-bells. When I went there it felt like I was in utopia, and it really made me de-stress. I felt very chilled out. The blue-bells are at their best in late April. If you search on the internet for ‘Pamphill blue-bells’ you will see how magnificent they are.
You can walk around the woods completely free of charge and of your own accord. It is also nice to walk through the woods as part of a longer walk through the area.
