Amenities for property in Wareham
Wareham is a very pretty town with many pubs, cafés and restaurants, extensive local shops and easy access to wonderful countryside and sandy beaches. A great fire destroyed much of the town in 1762 and only a few buildings survived, including St Martin's Church and a handful of cottages and almshouses. Fortunately, the town was rebuilt with impressive Georgian buildings. Wareham Town Museum, located in the lovely Victorian Town Hall, is free to visitors and The Rex Cinema, a gas-lit picture house, still screens films. There are two local state schools: Bere Regis First School and Wareham Middle School for children aged 9 - 13.
