Sockety Dorset Map

About Sockety

Sockety, a quiet corner of Dorset, breathes with a gentle Dorset air. It lies 5.1 km south-east of Crewkerne (from Crewkerne: bearing 127°T, OS grid ST 481 066), and is situated east-south-east of South Perrott village. The land hereabouts unfolds in soft, rolling contours, the hedgerows like ancient, verdant veins across the fields, catching the late afternoon sun in a pale gold light. The scattered dwellings of Sockety seem to huddle companionably, their stone walls weathered by countless seasons, each a quiet testament to generations who have worked this ground. A small stream, barely a murmur most days, winds its way through the hamlet, reflecting the changeable sky like a sliver of quicksilver. The air carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant livestock, a perfume of the countryside that speaks of a life lived in close communion with the earth.
