Welcome to Moreton

Moreton is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. It is situated in the heart of the Purbeck Hills, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village is known for its picturesque scenery, historic buildings, and tranquil atmosphere. Moreton is a popular destination for tourists who are looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions in Moreton is the St. Nicholas Church, which is a Grade I listed building. The church dates back to the 13th century and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and intricate carvings. The church is also the final resting place of T. E. Lawrence, who was famously known as Lawrence of Arabia. The churchyard is a peaceful and serene place, and visitors can take a moment to reflect and pay their respects to the fallen hero.

Another popular attraction in Moreton is the Moreton Tea Rooms, which is a quaint and charming café that serves delicious homemade cakes and scones. The tea rooms are located in a beautiful thatched cottage and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while taking in the peaceful atmosphere of the village. The tea rooms are a must-visit for anyone who is looking for a taste of traditional English hospitality.
