Silton Dorset Map

About Silton

Silton rests in Dorset's gentle embrace, a hamlet where the air itself seems to hold the quiet hum of the countryside. It lies 3.7 km north-west of Gillingham (from Gillingham: bearing 316°T, OS grid ST 782 291), and is situated south-south-east of Bourton village. The land around Silton is a tapestry of rolling fields, often rendered in hues of deep green or ripe gold depending on the season, where the soft Dorset light can lend a particular luminescence to the distant hedgerows. A small, almost shy stream, a tributary of the River Stour, murmurs its way through the periphery of Silton, its waters reflecting the soft sky. The few dwellings that constitute Silton often present weathered stone walls, speaking of a quiet endurance through the passing years. Life here carries a subtle, unhurried cadence, a reflection of the surrounding pastoral landscape.
