About Knighton

Knighton rests within the gentle contours of Dorset’s countryside, a quiet collection of dwellings breathing the soft air of the South West. It lies 3.9 km south-west of Ferndown (from Ferndown: bearing 227°T, OS grid SZ 049 975), and is situated north-north-west of Bearwood village. The hamlet, a scattering of homes rather than a bustling centre, feels as though it has been shaped by the slow drift of seasons and the quietude of the surrounding fields. Here, the light often falls in a diffused, almost watery way, softening the edges of the distant trees and lending a particular grace to the weathered stone of older buildings. Knighton’s existence is a testament to a simpler way of life, where the land dictates the pace and the sky stretches wide above.
