Welcome to Three Legged Cross

Three Legged Cross is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. The village is situated between the towns of Verwood and West Moors, and is known for its picturesque countryside and charming rural atmosphere. The village is named after a local pub, which was once a popular meeting place for locals and travelers alike. Today, Three Legged Cross is a popular destination for tourists looking to explore the natural beauty of Dorset.

One of the main attractions of Three Legged Cross is its proximity to the New Forest National Park. The park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, ponies, and rare birds. Visitors can explore the park on foot, by bike, or on horseback, and there are plenty of trails and paths to follow. The park is also home to a number of historic sites, including the ruins of a medieval castle and a Roman villa.

Another popular attraction in Three Legged Cross is the local farmers' market. The market is held every Saturday and offers a wide range of fresh produce, including locally grown fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and homemade baked goods. Visitors can also sample a variety of local wines and beers, and there are often live music performances and other entertainment on offer. The market is a great place to meet locals and learn more about the village's rich history and culture.
