About Stour Meadows

Stour Meadows lies in a gentle fold of Dorset's countryside, its fields often holding the soft, lingering light of late afternoon. It lies 2.8 km east-north-east of Sturminster Newton (from Sturminster Newton: bearing 64°T, OS grid ST 812 154), and is situated west-south-west of Manston village. The River Stour, a ribbon of silver, traces the western edge of Stour Meadows, its banks a haven for water voles and kingfishers, their iridescent flash a fleeting jewel against the muted greens and browns of the landscape. The land here carries the quiet industry of agriculture, the soil yielding its bounty under a sky that can shift from the palest cerulean to a brooding grey with surprising speed. Small lanes, bordered by ancient hedgerows, weave through the scattered dwellings of Stour Meadows, hinting at a history as unhurried as the flow of the nearby river. Even in the deepest shadows of twilight, a sense of enduring peace can be felt, as if the very air remembers the footsteps of generations.
