Ash Dorset Map

About Ash

Ash, a Dorset hamlet, breathes the quietude of the South West. It lies 4.3 km north-north-west of Blandford Forum (from Blandford Forum: bearing 334°T, OS grid ST 865 102), and is situated north-east of Stourpaine village. The land hereabouts unfolds with a gentle, almost sighing, sweep of chalk downland, where the sunlight, in late afternoon, can lay a soft, golden glaze upon the fields. Distant, the occasional lowing of cattle drifts on the air, a sound that seems to carry the very essence of the pastoral life that has shaped this place for generations. The houses of Ash, often built from the warm, honey-coloured local stone, huddle close as if sharing secrets of seasons past, their gardens ablaze with the determined colours of roses and lavender. A small stream, whispering its way through the landscape, offers a cool, verdant thread, a quiet counterpoint to the rolling hills.
