Situation

Piddletrenthide is a quintessentially English village nestled in the picturesque Piddle Valley of Dorset, its unusual name deriving from its position on the River Piddle and its historical assessment of thirty hides in the Domesday Book. The village and neighbouring village, Piddlehinton, offers amenities including charming pubs providing dining and accommodation and a new farm shop. For more comprehensive services and entertainment, the nearby county town of Dorchester is located just eight miles to the south. The beautiful Dorset Downs surround the area, placing it within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb), offering excellent opportunities for walking and exploring the countryside, including the nearby village of Cerne Abbas with its famous giant chalk figure, and the literary connections to Thomas Hardy's birthplace.
