About Wool

Wool rests in a gentle fold of Dorset's countryside, a quiet sentinel between the chalk downs and the heathlands. It lies 7.7 km west of Wareham (from Wareham: bearing 265°T, OS grid SY 846 866), and is situated west of Binnegar village. The air here, especially in the long summer evenings, often carries the scent of ripening crops, a subtle sweetness mingling with the earthy aroma of the surrounding fields. Wool's history is tied to the land, its early days marked by agricultural pursuits and a steady, unassuming presence that has endured through changing times. The village church, St. Andrew's, stands with a quiet dignity, its stone weathered by centuries, a silent witness to the lives that have unfolded within its shadow. Even the railway line, a thread of modern progress, seems to pass through Wool with a softer hum, as if respecting the village's enduring tranquility.
