Places to stay in Leigh, Dorset

In a field just south of the village lie the remains of the "Miz Maze", an earthwork of uncertain origin that, centuries ago, folklore attributes to having connections with witchcraft - possibly a meeting place for witches. Little remains now except a few grassy mounds. Local restaurants include The Chetnole Inn, C & S Meats, The White Hart, and The Hutners Moon.
