School End was converted in 2001 from a former Victorian school and faces onto the (small) River Brit, where kingfishers and occasional otters can be spotted. Pymore is a small, former rope-making, village development with its own pub/restaurant, one mile north of the market town of Bridport in Dorset, with its good local shopping facilities, a number of restaurants and local evening entertainment venues. The World Heritage Site - Juarssic Coast - of Dorset is about 2 miles away. The area is particularly well-suited for walking and is a good base for sight-seeing in the south-west generally. For example, Lyme Regis (think fossils, or French Lieutentants' Woman) is 10 miles; Portland Bill, 25m; Dartmoor (Hound Tor) 62m; and, Stonehenge 65 miles. There are hill forts and castles aplenty in the area, in various states of delapidation, and lots of stately homes, gardens, National Trust properites, etc. Public transport is reasonable. Cycling is possible but the lanes are narrow.
