Rew Dorset Map

About Rew

Rew, a quiet Dorset hamlet, rests where the land begins its gentle westward incline. It lies 5.5 km west-south-west of Dorchester (from Dorchester: bearing 257°T, OS grid SY 637 895), and is situated west-north-west of Winterborne St Martin village. The soft chalk downland here holds the particular light of the South West, a pale gold that seems to linger on the stone walls and thatched roofs. A few scattered houses, their gardens spilling over with hardy wildflowers, form the entirety of Rew, giving it the feel of a place that has settled into itself over centuries. The air, often carrying the faint scent of damp earth and distant sheep, speaks of a life lived close to the seasons. There is a profound stillness to Rew, a quietude that allows the low hum of insects and the rustle of wind through the hedgerows to become the dominant sounds.
