Welcome to East Dorset Heritage Trust Online
Where Hi-Tech Meets Heritage

East Dorset Heritage Trust is an environmental education charity, founded in 1987. Its aims include stimulating interest in the landscape, wildlife and archaeology of the area, fostering an awareness of environmental management and the community, providing an open forum for anyone with local environmental interests and developing new approaches to environmental education.
Since 2001 the Trust has been based at Allendale House, originally built in 1823 as one of Wimborne's finest private homes, it combines high quality facilities for meetings, courses, talks and training with the charm of a Georgian property. The House is conveniently located close to the Square in Wimborne town centre.
Allendale House was extensively restored between 2002 and 2006 and great care has been taken to retain its historic features
