THE RETREAT

Bindon Abbey Wellness Retreat, which is in the countryside that surrounds Wool, does facials and massages and manicures and so on. Its buildings incorporate a ruined Cistercian abbey that features in Tess of the d’Urbervilles (as does Woolbridge Manor House, which is privately owned but visible from the bridge).
