Cross Lanes Dorset Map

About Cross Lanes

Cross Lanes rests in a quiet corner of Dorset, a hamlet where the land rolls gently towards the southern coast. It lies 12.2 km south-south-west of Sturminster Newton (from Sturminster Newton: bearing 192°T, OS grid ST 759 022), and is situated south-south-west of Ansty village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a subtle perfume of the countryside. Ancient oaks, their branches like gnarled fingers against the sky, mark the edges of fields where sheep graze with a placid indifference to the passage of seasons. The few dwellings of Cross Lanes seem to have grown organically from the landscape, their stone walls warmed by the persistent, soft light of the South West. A small stream, barely more than a whisper in drier months, meanders through the fields, catching the sunlight in fleeting, silver flashes.
