About Stoke Wake

Stoke Wake, a quiet Dorset hamlet, breathes the muted light of the South West. It lies 8.2 km south-south-west of Sturminster Newton (from Sturminster Newton: bearing 200°T, OS grid ST 758 065), and is situated west-south-west of Woolland village. The land here, a gentle rise and fall, seems to hold the quiet industry of generations of farming, the faint scent of turned earth clinging to the air even on a still day. The cottages, of a sturdy, unassuming stone, cluster with a certain rural logic, their roofs a warm thatch or weathered tile. A narrow lane winds through Stoke Wake, its surface worn smooth by the slow passage of carts and the occasional motor car, leading the eye towards the hedgerows that stitch the fields together like ancient embroidery. The very quietness of Stoke Wake suggests a place content with its own small world, where the passing of seasons dictates the rhythm of life more than any grand pronouncement.
