Established in the 16th century, The Crown at Marnhull is a traditional thatched coaching inn located at the heart of the historic village of Marnhull in North Dorset’s stunning Blackmore Vale. Just under an hour away from Bath & the Jurassic Coast, with the historic market towns of Shaftesbury & Sherborne within twenty minutes.
The Crown is the setting of the ‘Pure Drop Inn’ in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles.
