Dunbury Dorset Map

About Dunbury

Dunbury rests in the embrace of Dorset's rolling countryside, a place where the very air seems to hold a quiet, ancient song. It lies 7.1 km west-south-west of Blandford Forum (from Blandford Forum: bearing 247°T, OS grid ST 819 036), and is situated south of Winterborne Houghton village. The land here, a rich loam the colour of old pennies, yields to the plough with a sigh, and the sunlight, when it breaks through the soft grey skies, paints the fields in fleeting, burnished gold. Little remains of Dunbury's earlier life, save for the weathered stones of the parish church, which have witnessed centuries of seasons turn, their surfaces worn smooth by wind and rain. The scattered cottages, their flint walls cool to the touch, huddle against the breeze that drifts in from the chalk downs, a gentle presence that has shaped the character of Dunbury for generations.
