Langton Herring

Langton Herring is a small village tucked deep into the Dorset countryside but with great links to nearby Weymouth and Abbotsbury and the whole Jurassic Coast. The village dates back to 1086 and has a number of original 17th and 18th century thatched cottages. The parish church dates from 1682 and it has an 18th century tower.

For eating out within the village there is just the one option - The Elm Tree Inn. It has had a colourful history with stories of smuggling and a possible hidden cellar used for contraband. These days it is more renowned for a great place for a drink and a bight to eat and it has a large beer garden too.

Langton Herring is quite a draw for artists and photographers with its chocolate box buildings and sweeping countryside views. All in all, it is well worth a visit.
