Fontmell Magna Dorset Map

About Fontmell Magna

Fontmell Magna graces the Dorset landscape with a quiet, enduring charm. It lies 6.1 km south of Shaftesbury (from Shaftesbury: bearing 177°T, OS grid ST 866 168), and is situated north-north-east of Sutton Waldron village. The chalk downs rise around Fontmell Magna, their slopes often catching the late afternoon sun in a way that imbues the fields with a gentle, golden hue. At the heart of Fontmell Magna, the parish church of St. Andrew stands as a testament to centuries of devotion, its stone weathered by countless seasons. The village's origins are rooted in agriculture, and even now, the scent of freshly turned earth can sometimes drift on the breeze, a subtle reminder of its enduring connection to the land. The Fontmell Brook, a modest waterway, meanders through the parish, its quiet murmur a constant companion to the surrounding countryside.
