Location Details

On the border of Blackmore Vale and at the top of the quaintly titled Piddle Valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the West Dorset village of Buckland Newton and its seven neighbouring hamlets, among them Brockhampton. The settlement is located 12 miles north of Thomas Hardy's Dorchester and 12 miles south of mediaeval Sherborne. A visit to the neighbouring historic Cerne Abbas, with its instantly iconic chalk giant and a variety of tea shops and inns offering authentic ales and delectable food, is not to be missed. Locally, there are great picturesque hikes to be enjoyed. As an alternative, head south to the remarkable Dorset Jurassic Coast, which has been named a World Heritage Site. There, you'll find plenty of sandy beaches and excellent facilities for all types of water sports. Golden sand beaches and a busy harbour are available in Weymouth, from where you can take a day excursion to the Channel Islands. From here, it's only a short drive to Portland Harbour and the wild "Isle" of Portland, which is connected to Weymouth by the breathtaking Chesil Beach. You have so many options in this delightful area of Dorset, with interesting Sherborne and lively Dorchester being only a short drive away.
