Tarrant Rushton, a Dorset village, holds its quiet place within the rolling chalk downs. It lies 5.2 km east of Blandford Forum (from Blandford Forum: bearing 97°T, OS grid ST 936 057), and is situated north-north-east of Tarrant Keyneston village. The air here, when the sun breaks through the often-grey skies, carries a clean, earthy scent, a reminder of the surrounding agricultural lands. A small, ancient church, its stones worn smooth by centuries of wind and rain, stands sentinel over Tarrant Rushton, its spire a slender finger pointing towards the heavens. The absence of grand monuments allows the subtle beauty of the hedgerows, alive with birdsong in the spring, to come to the fore. Even the quiet lanes, winding between fields of barley and sheep, seem to whisper tales of generations who have walked them before.
