| Welcome: Ever since the infamous Dipwytch Trials of 1546, our village has catered for the comforts and needs of visitors. The Dipwytch Fellowship Park will build upon that tradition. It will also undermine the local economy and provide unique opportunities for entrepreneurs. As tourism is one of the boom sectors of the world economy, investors can look forward to a generous return on their capital. They can also be content in the knowledge that their money is not only safe. It will be working to ensure the stability of a unique community.

| The Foolsdown Farm Experience Farming has changed much over the last hundred years. Today, many farms are more like industrial factories than centres of agriculture. But that can't be said about Foolsdown Farm. Foolsdown Farm hasn't been infected by the plague of modernisation for many decades. Here, you can experience a taste of history. Explore among the detritus from Days of Yore. See the animals living as the Creator intended, rather than cooped up in cages and paddocks. Find the thrill of hunting for freshly laid eggs. Feed the herd of feral goats. A visit to The Foolsdown Farm Experience is something that will stain your memory for years to come. And don't forget to purchase a piece of the past in the Foolsdown Farm Souvenir Emporium.

| Dipwytch Historical Trail Let our experienced guide take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of Dipwytch. The Dipwytch Historical Trail will not only inform you about the tragic events of 1546. It will leave you feeling you were a part of them. See the place where Foul Hearted Justice Jake acted as judge, jury and executioner. Take a photograph of your loved ones at the historical plaque itself. Your memories of a glorious heritage stroll may also be preserved in postcard format, which can be obtained from the village shop. Suggestions for further historical attractions would be welcome.
|
| The Folly of Dipwytch Some people travel great distances to visit follies, and the Folly of Dipwytch is certainly a notable example. It possibly dates back to the early twentieth century, and was once featured in the background of a BBC South television news report. Why not ascend this unusual column? Give yourself a treat. Go on, you won't regret it. Have a climb.
|
| The Dinosaurs of Dipwytch Museum Dorset is famous for its paleontological remains, and the community of Dipwytch has more than its fair share of ancient fossils. Various items of interest have come from the banks of Hogsback Brook. Very unusually, these relics don't date back to the Mesozoic, which suggests that the cataclysmic mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous somehow forgot to include our village. Several teeth in the collection of the Dinosaurs of Dipwytch Museum show that this parish was home to ferocious, 60cm long, planteating monsters as recently as 1924. These are similar to a genus called Echinodon, which is otherwise known from rock of the earliest Cretaceous, laid down about 140 million years ago. Probably the most impressive exhibit is the only example of a 20th century multituberculate mammal, which has been described as Dipwytchbaatar desadeia. It's most closely related to otherwise Upper Cretaceous creatures from Mongolia. Also not to be missed is the extensive collection of dung forks, one of which might even be French. Don't miss the chance to purchase great gifts and postcards in the Museum Shop. Opening hours by arrangement.
Jan. 2004. News has just arrived of a new publication concerning the dinosaurs of Dipwytch. Tyrannozaurus dypwytchensis has been decribed. This is a relative of the famously ferocious Tyrannosurus rex, known from the Upper Cretaceous of North America and Asia. For further details: Tyrannozaurus dypwytchensis.

The High-Tech Mobile Wishing Well Many English villages have wishing wells. However, Dipwytch boasts one of the very few mobile ones, which comes complete with virtual pixies. This has been made possible thanks to the appliance of science. The High-Tech Mobile Wishing Well is truly interactive. After casting in the traditional coin for luck, the visitor must await to discover whether their wish has been granted, or perhaps scoffed at. On rare occasions, the playful virtual pixies might even throw the coin back, especially if it's foreign, so beware! This fascinating attraction may also be hired for business or social occasions.

| Ma Baker's Whopper Cream Tea Paradise After enjoying some of the invigorating activities of delightful Dipwytch, a visit to Ma Baker's Whopper Cream Tea Paradise would offer welcome relaxation to many a visitor. Chill out and be regaled. Enjoy a generous cream tea in this exceptionally well-appointed tea house. Scones, butter, jam, freshly clotted cream and lashings of piping hot tea. Ma Baker will leave you stuffed yet hungry for more, more, more. Souvenirs and postcards are available.
|
| And so much more For their convenience, visitors would be well advised to make use of the impressively modern Superloos, which have been specially imported from Japan. Heeding the call of nature has never been a more luxurious experience. Live music is envisaged. And keep an eye out for future attractions.
|
| Where to stay Dipwytch already boasts comfortable and good value accommodation in The Poor Wimin's 'ead, a charming English inn. However, in order to cope with the ever increasing torrents of visitors, a new hotel will be built, (funds permitting). This will be Ye Olde English Dipwytch Hostel Hotel, and guests will be able to take advantage of the view from the privacy of their own room. The more budget concious might prefer to consider the Elysian Camping and Caravaning Fields. Whether rich or poor, our village offers a welcome as full as your pocket.

you probably haven't read this page very attentatively. Go back to the top and start
