Ashley Heath Dorset Map

About Ashley Heath

Ashley Heath, a quiet corner of Dorset, exhales a subtle scent of pine and damp earth, a testament to its gentle embrace of the surrounding heathland. It lies 3.4 km west-south-west of Ringwood (from Ringwood: bearing 255°T, OS grid SU 114 042), and is situated west-north-west of St Ives village. The roads here, often bordered by the wilder beauty of gorse and heather, seem to lead one willingly into a more contemplative pace of life, the sunlight filtering through the broad leaves of ancient oaks with a particular, almost golden, hue. While Ashley Heath may not boast grand edifices, its appeal lies in the understated elegance of its landscape, where the very air feels cleaner and the quietude allows for a rare moment of genuine reflection. The distant murmur of traffic from the main routes seems only to accentuate the profound stillness that often settles over this part of England, a stillness that invites one to pause and simply be.
