Neighbourhood information

Information correct at time of writing. Chantmarle is a hamlet based 1km west of Frome St. Quintin, famous for Chantmarle Manor, a grade 1 listed mansion. It has 20th-century formal terraced and water gardens, and features include an approach drive through mature trees, yew hedges, herbaceous borders and a circular balustraded pool. There are a number of beautiful walks accessible in and around Chantmarle and the perfect opportunity to explore the stunning Dorset countryside. Nearby to Chantmarle the village of Cattistock, in the upper part of the Frome Valley amid rolling Dorset countryside, 8 miles (13 km) north west of the county town Dorchester. You will find The Fox & Hounds pub, and a good local shop and post office. In the nearby village of Evershot is the 16th century pub, The Acorn Inn, which Thomas Hardy called "The Sow & Acorn" in his novel "Tess of the d’Urbervilles". Sydling St. Nicholas is a picturesque village only a short drive away, winding along the little Sydling Water with tiny connecting bridges to the ancient thatched cottages which line the banks, and has a popular pub - The Greyhound which has received national accolades for the quality of its food. The nearby village of Cerne Abbas is the home of the Cerne Giant an ancient naked figure sculpted into the chalk hillside. The village also has three popular pubs and a tea shop, an ancient abbey with pretty gardens and many beautiful cottages to admire. West Dorset is renowned for its lively, popular and eclectic food scene, and regular local food markets are held offering visitors a taste of the delicious local produce. Mapperton Gardens is a short drive away from Chantmarle and well worth a visit.
