Lake, a quiet corner of Dorset, holds a certain still beauty. It lies 3.7 km south-west of Sherborne (from Sherborne: bearing 221°T, OS grid ST 613 138), and is situated north-east of Thornford village. The subtle undulations of the surrounding countryside, where fields of barley ripple under the vast, pale sky, lend a gentle character to the landscape. Here, the air often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a testament to its agricultural roots. The hamlet itself, a scattering of stone cottages that seem to have grown organically from the very soil, offers a sense of enduring peace. Even the shadows cast by the ancient trees seem to hold a quiet wisdom, marking the passage of seasons rather than the hurried march of time.
