Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, built a folly structure on the Shaftesbury Estate, known as the Philosopher's Tower. This folly sits in a field, clearly visible from the B3078 just south of Cranborne. It is thought that he did a lot of his philosophising in this tower, and from this suggestion it has become known as the Philosopher's Tower.

Le célèbre philosophe Jean-Jacques Rousseau a écrit dans ses Rêveries d'un promeneur solitaire: "De toutes les habitations où j'ai demeuré (et j'en ai eu de charmantes), aucune ne m'a rendu si véritablement heureux et ne m'a laissé de si tendres regrets que l'île de St-Pierre au milieu du lac de Bienne". Sa résidence d'antan, un ancien prieuré, est devenue aujourd'hui un hôtel-restaurant réputé.
