The Ship Inn

A characterful Dorset village pub with maritime charm 

The Ship Inn is a friendly traditional pub situated in the Dorset village of Wool, close to renowned local beauty spots and attractions including Lulworth Castle, the Blue Pool, Monkey World and Bovington Tank Museum.

True to its nautical roots, the pub has a fascinating history of smuggling connections dating back to 1827. But these days it provides a welcoming environment for everyone, with a charmingly contemporary interior which blends oak beams and fireplaces with maritime memorabilia. With a menu of delicious home-cooked food, as well as a host of regular events, this friendly pub is a home from home for both locals and visitors.
