Rushton Dorset Map

About Rushton

Rushton, a quiet collection of dwellings, exhales the scent of damp earth and distant livestock. It lies 4.4 km west of Wareham (from Wareham: bearing 259°T, OS grid SY 879 865), and is situated south-south-east of Binnegar village. The hamlet’s scattered houses, many of them rendered in the local pale stone, seem to hunker low against the broad Dorset skies, as if remembering a time when the wind held more sway. A narrow lane, its verges thick with hawthorn and bramble, serves as the main artery, each bend revealing another glimpse of hedgerow and pasture, the light often filtering through the leaves in long, soft shafts. There is a sense here of lives lived at a measured pace, governed by the turn of the seasons rather than the insistent ticking of a clock. The land around Rushton, a gentle swell of chalk downland, offers a quiet beauty, its open fields a canvas for the shifting moods of the English weather.
