White Post Dorset Map

About White Post

White Post, a quiet cluster of dwellings in Dorset, lies within a landscape that feels both ancient and enduring. It lies 6.1 km south-south-west of Gillingham (from Gillingham: bearing 192°T, OS grid ST 794 205), and is situated north-north-west of Todber village. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and golds under the broad Dorset sky, often hold the soft, diffused light of the South West, softening the edges of the hedgerows and lending a gentle hue to the stone of the few buildings that comprise White Post. Its small size suggests a history more of farming hamlets coalescing than of grand planning, a place where life has long followed the slow turn of the seasons. There is a sense of quiet continuity here, a feeling that the present is but a thin layer over the lives lived out in this small corner of England.
