The Silent Woman Inn in Cold Harbour, Wareham, dates back to the 17th century and is one of Dorset's oldest surviving coaching inns. It is associated with maritime history due to its proximity to the Fleet Lagoon, serving sailors and traders; it is also linked to the 19th-century poet John Keats, who may have stayed there during a visit to the area.
