Welcome to Osmington

Osmington is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. It is situated on the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque thatched cottages, historic church, and stunning views of the sea.

One of the main attractions in Osmington is the White Horse, a hill figure carved into the chalk hillside. The horse is 85 meters long and 100 meters high, and is visible from miles around. It was created in 1808 by a local landowner, John Ranier, to commemorate King George III's visit to Weymouth. The White Horse is a popular spot for walkers and hikers, who can enjoy the stunning views from the top of the hill.

Another popular attraction in Osmington is the Smugglers Inn, a traditional pub that dates back to the 13th century. The pub is steeped in history and has a fascinating past, having been used by smugglers to store contraband goods. Today, the Smugglers Inn is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy the delicious food and drink, as well as the friendly atmosphere. The pub also has a large beer garden, which is perfect for enjoying a drink in the sunshine.
