Kimmeridge Dorset Map

About Kimmeridge

Kimmeridge, a small Dorset village, holds a quiet charm where the land meets the sea. It lies 7.8 km south of Wareham (from Wareham: bearing 186°T, OS grid SY 915 796), and is situated south-west of Church Knowle village. The air here often carries the faint, briny scent of the nearby Jurassic Coast, a constant reminder of the ancient geological forces that shaped this landscape. The village itself is a collection of weathered stone cottages, their roofs often softened by the moss and lichen that thrive in the damp coastal air, giving them an appearance of having grown organically from the earth. Though small, Kimmeridge possesses a distinctive character, an almost elemental presence that draws one to the rugged beauty of its surroundings. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a pearly quality, illuminating the greens of the pastures and casting long shadows that speak of the slow turning of the day.
