A Rustic Retreat Nestled in the Cranborne Chase
Nestled in the heart of the Cranborne Chase The Old Forge is the perfect retreat. A labour of love since 1986 The Old Forge is constantly evolving. Tim and Lucy’s passion for all things vintage is evident from the moment you arrive. Old enamel signs and petrol pumps set the scene for a bygone era. Classic cars have always been a part of the landscape here when Tim started his restoration business over 30 years ago. Enthusiasts will delight in Tim’s treasured 1934 Lagonda Rapier which he lovingly restored. The Morris Minor pick up is the most wonderful work horse and is in use every day.
