All Weekend: Dorset Sunflower Trail

This weekend is one of your last chances to see the stunning sunflowers at Maiden Castle Farm, near Dorchester.

Get up close and personal with the beautiful sunflowers, take a relaxing and meandering stroll through the winding trails, cut in the acres of sunflowers, planted on the outskirts of Dorchester.

The theme of the trail this year is British Bees. You can navigate through the twists and turns of the bee shape while enjoying watching our special pollinators hard at work. Alternatively take a leisurely stroll down our shorter trail, created with accessibility in mind. This really is an attraction for every one of all ages.
