SITUATION
The delightful hamlet of Chantmarle lies in an AONB between the popular villages of Cattistock and Evershot. The surrounding countryside is generally regarded as some of the finest in the county, and has many associations with the novels of Thomas Hardy. Nearby Evershot has a pub, church, village school, shop, bakery and restaurant. It is, for the most part, made up of handsome period houses and cottages, for which the area is well known.
The county town of Dorchester, Bridport, Beaminster, the regional centre of Yeovil, and Sherborne are all within short motoring distance, as is the Dorset coast.
