The 'Model Village' of Milton Abbas
In the street of Milton Abbas, Primrose Cottage is one of the semi-detached cob and thatched houses that make up a unique village created around 1770 by Lord Milton and landscape artist Capability Brown.
The story alone of how, over a generation, he erased the town of Middleton to allow himself to enjoy exclusively his stately home and the peace and quiet of the Abbey makes the village worth a visit.
The 'model village' itself is said by many to be one of the prettiest in England. Certainly each house has individual charm whilst the winding valley setting with its lake at the bottom is the ideal base for the dorset experience - countryside, Thomas Hardy, walking, beaches... Relax.... slow down.... you are now in Dorset.
