A hillside pub with panoramic Dorset views

The Hare and Hounds sits on a hill in the hamlet of Waytown, offering extensive panoramic views across the local landscape. Surrounded by rolling hills and countryside, the traditional pub provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It serves as a central rest stop for residents, walkers, and visitors looking to unwind in a quiet rural setting.

Hillside beer garden, local produce, and a traditional bar

The outdoor beer garden sits high on the hill, giving you a vantage point to take in the views over the countryside with a pint of ale. The entire outdoor seating area welcomes dogs, making it a great spot for walkers to break up a trek across the hills.

Inside, the kitchen uses fresh, local ingredients, turning out a menu of hearty pub classics and seasonal specials. The bar area has a traditional feel, complemented by a spacious on-site car park and disabled facilities, ensuring the view and the food are accessible to everyone.
