Leigh rests gently in the Dorset countryside, a place where the sky seems to hold a particular softness. It lies 8.3 km south-south-west of Sherborne (from Sherborne: bearing 194°T, OS grid ST 617 086), and is situated east-north-east of Chetnole village. The land around Leigh falls away in pleasing, subtle contours, hinting at the ancient geological forces that shaped this corner of England. A quiet stream, often reflecting the pale gold of the afternoon sun, meanders close by, its murmur a constant, unobtrusive companion to the village's peace. The very air here seems to carry the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a perfume of rural life that has endured for generations.
