Southover Dorset Map

About Southover

Southover breathes a quiet, pastoral air. It lies 8.0 km west-north-west of Dorchester (from Dorchester: bearing 300°T, OS grid SY 622 947), and is situated south-west of Frampton village. Here, the land gently inclines, allowing the distant chalk hills to cast their soft shadows in the late afternoon sun, a painterly touch upon the fields. The cluster of houses that form Southover seem to have grown organically from the earth, their stone walls a muted echo of the surrounding countryside. A palpable sense of continuity pervades the hamlet, as if the very air remembers the passing of generations, each leaving a faint impress upon the quiet lanes. One might imagine the faint scent of woodsmoke, a memory from hearths long extinguished, still lingering on the breeze.
