The Surrounding Area

WhitePepper is located in the beautiful Dorset countryside, near the renowned UNESCO Heritage Jurassic Coastline, the second largest natural harbour in the world (2nd only to Sydney). The area contains award winning blue-flag sandy beaches (7 continuous miles) and plenty of exciting entertainment (live shows, events and exhibitions).

Experience the stunning walk to Durdle Door, board a passenger boat to Brownsea Island to spot red squirrels, windsurf in Poole Harbour, cycle in the New Forest, visit a local food festival or go shopping in Bournemouth or Southampton.

The Chef Academy at Bere Farm is also home to a community of interesting small businesses, including a cafe, garden centre, clothing boutique and French Furniture showrooms.

Dorset is a busy tourist destination, especially during the summer months, so booking courses and accommodation early is recommended.
