The landscape is criss-crossed by a network of bridleways and tracks for walking, riding and countryside pursuits and the beautiful Jurassic Coast is just 14 miles away. The village has a church and the neighbouring villages of Piddletrenthide (1.5 miles) and Buckland Newton (1.6 miles) both have some useful amenities including a pub, post office/village shop and primary school.

Local independent schools in the area include Sherborne, Leweston, Milton Abbey, Bryanston and Clayesmore. For state education the neighbouring Piddle Valley and Cerne Abbas primary schools are both OFSTED rated 1 (Outstanding), as is Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester for secondary education. The Old Rectory Built in 1846 for the then vicar, the Reverend R Shitler, and subsequently sold by the Church of England in 1945 when it was no longer required, The Old Rectory has been owned by the current family for the past 44 years and has recently been extensively refurbished to a high standard. The house is a classic example of a vicarage of the period, with two storeys, a symmetrical façade, painted stucco rendered walls and a Welsh slate roof with deep eaves. It now forms a perfect family house, sitting centrally within its garden, slightly set apart from the village, with approximately ten acres of paddocks and a lovely south facing outlook across unspoilt countryside. Internally the house is beautifully light and airy, with tall sash windows and high ceilings throughout, and is very well presented. Its internal layout is also typical of the period with a central reception hall and two principal reception rooms, one on each side. Both rooms have fine stone fireplaces fitted with Jetmaster grates and have sash windows with working shutters looking out in a southerly direction across the property’s own land to the uninterrupted view beyond. The house also has a delightful kitchen/breakfast room fitted with bespoke, painted units, stone work surfaces, 4-oven electric AGA and walk-in larder. At the rear is the large boot room, which was added in 1999 and has a flagstone floor and leads out to the rear, paved service courtyard, which has a verandah and off which are the laundry room, tack room, workshop and wood store. At the rear of the hall the original and elegant staircase rises to the part-galleried landing, off which are five double bedrooms, most fitted with working shutters, and two bathrooms. In addition, there is a walk-through dressing 6 2 4 room which leads to a sixth double bedroom at the rear of the house. 11 acres Outbuildings, Garden & Grounds Set slightly apart from and above the village at the end of a short approach lane, The Old Rectory sits centrally within its one acre garden, with approximately ten acres of paddocks and a lovely southerly facing outlook across unspoilt countryside. The garden extends out on three sides with areas of lawn and stands of mature trees, including many, fine mature beech trees. At one side of the house are the vegetable garden, greenhouse and adjacent terrace for outside dining, which has direct access to the kitchen through a pair of French windows. The property is approached by a tarmac drive, which extends round to a parking area in front of the house. A side spur leads to the former stable yard and coach house at the rear of the house, with the yard providing additional parking space and direct access through the service courtyard to the house. The coach house has stabling with three loose boxes, a hayloft above, and the coach room now serves as a single garage. Behind the coach house is a modern timber built stable block with three loose boxes. In all the garden and grounds extend to about 11.05 acres (4.47 hectares).

The abstraction regime at Alton Pancras has Avaried in recent years as the licence, operating agreement and requirements for stream support have been under review. The PWS licence is currently a simple 4.5Ml/d daily licence and 890Ml annual (2.44Ml/d) licence. Historical production has varied between a maximum weekly supply of around 3.5Ml/d when water is supplied into neighbouring distribution networks to a minimum base load supply of around 1.9Ml/d needed to meet local demands. Whilst the neighbouring distribution networks can be supplied from elsewhere the local demand cannot.

Theresa Leavy of Dorset Council has asked us to share this letter with you which contains some important information about the ongoing support of vulnerable people in our communities across Dorset. With warm wishes as always, Jon at #HelpAndKindness Dear colleague Firstly, can I thank you for everything you ve been doing to help with the COVID-19 community response efforts in Dorset. Many vulnerable people of all ages may have been self-isolating for some weeks by now. We have written to around 15,000 shielded people today to let them know we re thinking of them, and to check they have everything they need to keep them healthy and happy during this time. Click here to download a copy of that letter. We know there are probably more people across the county who are not necessarily shielding but do not have the help and support they need. 2 of 4 05/05/2020, 19:02 Gmail - Fwd: Letter from Dorset Council to Residents receiving suppor... https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=3022ef754f&view=pt&search=a...

  • Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan 2018 to 2033
    Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan 2018 to 2033 As modified by the Independent Examiner November 2016 Post Examination Draft–January 2018 Produced by Piddle Valley Parish Council with the help of local residents Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan – 2018 to 2033 How this Plan came about Back in 2012, the idea of a Neighbourhood Plan for the Piddle Valley was discussed at the Parish Council meetings. A small working group was formed. Having done some research and looked at other examples, the group wanted to be sure that there was enough support for a Neighbourhood Plan, as it was clear that producing a plan would take a lot of community time and effort. So the group put articles in the Piddle Valley News and Views to try to explain what a Neighbourhood Plan was, and what it could achieve, and organised presentations at the school in October that year. They gave local residents the chance to vote whether or not they wanted a Neighbourhood Plan. They explained that - If nothing is done, then future planning decisions that affect the Valley will be taken by the District Council as they see fit. If the Valley has its own Neighbourhood Plan, which sets out our wishes for things we both do and do not wish to see occur, then the District Council have to take those views into account in reaching their decision. The Plan will take a lot of time and work to prepare, including further consultations, and must eventually be approved by a referendum of the Valley residents. It is important therefore for the Parish Council to know that there is support in principle for the work involved.

The slopes and crests are mostly comprised of shallow well-drained calcareous silty soils over chalk, whilst the valley bottoms are made up of deep calcareous and non-calcareous fine silty soils. Due to its geology and topography, the Piddle Valley is prone to high water tables during prolonged wet periods.
