The Nest BnB Dorchester on Thames

17/09/2026

Almost 900 autumns have passed beneath the ancient stones of Dorchester Abbey. The crunch of leaves, the scent of fermenting apples, woodsmoke in the evening air, shorter days and longer shadows — and beneath the trees, carpets of delicate Cyclamen quietly heralding the turning of the season.

The River Thames breathes life into our valley — winding quietly through the countryside, connecting ancient villages, wildlife havens and communities along its way.

The Thames path is only a short walk from Dorchester on Thames and this ancient river is the reason life originally # flourished here — bringing people, wildlife, trade and fertile land to our valley for thousands of years. In many ways, Dorchester was born from the Thames.

A winters walk. This made me feel so alive. We can reach the river in just a quick 10 minute walk.
There’s always something to see there, what ever the weather or season. It’s where the River Thame meets the Isis, making it Thamesis- the Thames.

Happy New Year to all the lovely guests who have stayed with us this last year.
We have just enjoyed a wonderful walk up in snowy Stoke Row followed by a bowl of chips and a mulled w**e by the fire to warm ourselves up … super cosy!!
I have included the lovely walk we did along with a few others.
