We would like to welcome you to Champernhayes.
Champernhayes is situated
on the gentle slope of a West Dorset hillside, with woodland above
and a stunning view of many square miles of fields below. The tiny
village of Wootton Fitzpaine is just half a mile away to the east,
down a winding lane. |
 Champernhayes
farmhouse and buildings originate from 1482 when, records tell us
that a French family named Champernon farmed here. Hayes is the Old
English word for enclosure, and this is how the name has been derived.
The whole area is designated as one of outstanding natural beauty
and is easily accessible from the A35 road. Our southerly views are
to the sea at Charmouth 2 miles away, and just over the hill lies
the charming historic port of Lyme Regis. |
In
December 2001 this coastline was designated as the UKs only World
Heritage site, (also known as the Jurassic Coastline) due to its outstanding
geology. |

Out of Season Breaks
With its reputation for good weather, more and more visitors are discovering
Lyme Regis as an ideal spot for an out of season break. Some choose
to exchange the stress of Christmas at home for the peace and relaxation
of Yuletide traditions by the sea.
Others have discovered that Spring comes early to this sheltered corner
of the West Country and so take advantage of the sea air and the countryside
before the rest of the world awakens.
