Athelhampton Dorset Map

About Athelhampton

Athelhampton lies in a quiet fold of Dorset's gentle countryside. It lies 8.5 km east-north-east of Dorchester (from Dorchester: bearing 66°T, OS grid SY 769 941), and is situated east of Puddletown village. The River Piddle, a silver thread of water, whispers its way past Athelhampton, its banks often softened by the mist that rises in the early mornings, lending the landscape a dreamlike quality. The hamlet itself, a collection of ancient stone dwellings and thatched roofs, seems to absorb the very light of the afternoon sun, holding it in its walls long after the day has begun to recede. A sense of enduring peace pervades Athelhampton, a quiet testament to centuries of lives lived under the vast, ever-changing skies of the South West.
