Phantom Coach of Wool

Hethfelton House and/or stone bridge close to Bindon Abbey, Wool

In the sleepy village of Wool, nestled in the heart of Dorset, a chilling spectacle has been witnessed by those with Turbeville blood - a phantom horse-drawn coach, expertly crafted and eerily lit, careening towards the River Frome. This ghostly carriage, pulled by four majestic horses, is said to appear at midnight, its reoccurrence shrouding the event in an aura of foreboding. As it rattles along, the coach seems to be heading towards Bindon Abbey, passing over a 15th-century stone bridge that spans the river.
