The Square and Compass
Today, The Square and Compass couples three tasks: it entertains long standing patrons, refreshes walkers and tourists and draws in music lovers. When the sun is shinning it’s great to sit outside and admire the amazing views across the sea, definitely a must visit when you come to Dorset.
