The Lyme Regis / Whitchurch Canonicorum area
Courthouse Farm is situated on the edge of the village of Whitchurch Canonicorum, in the peaceful, picturesque Marshwood Vale within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The West Dorset Coast is 3 miles from Courthouse so an ideal location for the perfect holiday. The church in Whitchurch Canonicorum has its own patron saint buried in a tomb within the church, and is noted for its healing powers. The Five Bells has an excellent reputation for a friendly pub that does meals and outside catering. During the year there are many activities in the Village Hall and a children's play area behind the hall open to all.
The farm is run with neighboring Cardsmill Farm, where guests can come and watch the milking, see baby calves, beef animals, sheep, and dogs. Lambing is usually between February and May. Watch sheep and cattle in the fields in spring and summer out over the garden fence. We also grow winter wheat, spring barley, forage maize and various crops for animal feed.
