In Dorset, the town of Cerne Abbas During the Romans or before that time, the Cerne Abbas Giant was cut out of the ground on a chalk hillside. You can see it best from the A352 north of the village.
Ancient fertility rites were said to have taken place there. It is 180 ft tall. People from the National Trust are in charge of taking care of the site.
Dorset's most beautiful village had a well-known leather industry and a Benedictine abbey from 987 to 1539. The gatehouse with a beautiful oriel window and a guest house can still be seen behind Abbey House at the end of the street past the church.
Walk to the Giant from here. An old 14th-century barn used by the abbey as a tithe barn is at the southern end of town. It's now a house. In general, though, this church is from the l5th century. The chancel is from around 1300, and the tall brown-yellow tower is from around 1500. The 1960s were a great time to improve the inside of the house. You can see through a stone screen, a rare Jacobean pulpit, and wall paintings from the l4th to the l8th centuries in this room. Abbey glass is thought to be in the grand east window. In the churchyard, there is a well where people can put their wishes.
Three miles north, High Stoy Hill is a great place to look out. This is where Thomas Hardy lived when he wrote his book, The Woodlanders.

Two miles north, the lovely gardens of Minteme House, built in 1904, are sometimes open to the public.
