About Askerswell

Askerswell rests in a gentle hollow, a quiet collection of stone and thatch where the land slopes with a soft, enduring grace. It lies 6.3 km east of Bridport (from Bridport: bearing 91°T, OS grid SY 529 927), and is situated east-south-east of Uploders village. The air here, scrubbed clean by the nearby coast, carries the faint, sweet scent of wild thyme that carpets the surrounding hills, a perfume that seems to cling to the very stone of the houses. The church of St. Michael, a modest sentinel of local devotion, watches over the handful of dwellings, its ancient walls absorbing the muted light of the Dorset sky. Here, the passage of time feels less like a hurried rush and more like the slow, deliberate turning of the seasons, each one painting Askerswell with a different, yet equally profound, beauty. The fields, a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the time of year, seem to breathe with a quiet industry, the distant bleating of sheep a small counterpoint to the rustling leaves.
