Hammoon Dorset Map

About Hammoon

Hammoon breathes a quiet Dorset air, a hamlet where the land itself seems to hold its breath. It lies 3.1 km east of Sturminster Newton (from Sturminster Newton: bearing 83°T, OS grid ST 817 145), and is situated south-south-east of Manston village. The fields surrounding Hammoon are a patchwork of green and gold under the generous South West sky, their contours softened by the slow passage of time, and the River Stour, a silver ribbon, murmurs its ancient song nearby. Evidence of its agricultural past still graces the landscape, with sturdy farmsteads and fields that have yielded their bounty for generations, their very soil imbued with the sun and the rain. The light here, especially in the late afternoon, has a particular honeyed quality, bathing the hedgerows and the distant chalk downs in a gentle, luminous glow.
