Knighton Dorset Map

About Knighton

Knighton rests quietly in Dorset's embrace, a small collection of dwellings where the land gently slopes. It lies 5.7 km south-south-west of Sherborne (from Sherborne: bearing 205°T, OS grid ST 613 115), and is situated east of Beer Hackett village. The hamlet is touched by the soft, chalky soil characteristic of this part of the West Country, lending a subtle luminescence to the fields that surround it. A modest stream, perhaps no more than a whisper of water in drier months, meanders nearby, catching the light as it flows. The houses, often built of local stone, seem to have grown organically from the earth, their roofs a muted palette of slate and tile. In the late afternoon, the sun casts long, gentle shadows, painting the quiet lanes with a golden hue.
