Visiting the Area

Chettle is a charming North Dorset village known for its traditional thatched cottages, historic manor house and welcoming community atmosphere. The village has its own store and a playground maintained by local residents.

Much of the village housing remains under the ownership of the Chettle Estate and is rented to people who live and work locally, helping to maintain the character and community spirit of this traditional Dorset village.

The surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities for sightseeing, walking and exploring the beautiful Dorset countryside.

Nearby attractions include Larmer Tree Gardens, a beautiful historic garden offering attractive grounds to explore, and Badbury Rings, an impressive Iron Age hillfort surrounded by scenic countryside walks and far-reaching views.

Kingston Lacy, a magnificent National Trust property, is also within easy reach and features a historic house, beautiful gardens and extensive parkland.

The Georgian market town of Blandford Forum offers independent shops, cafés, restaurants and attractive architecture, making it a lovely destination for a day out.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding Cranborne Chase countryside provides a variety of walking routes through picturesque landscapes, peaceful villages and rolling hills.
