Situation - Okeford Fitzpaine is a delightful village in the Dorset Downs which are in the heart of North Dorset. The village is very picturesque and street scenes often appear in magazines and calendars as does the surrounding countryside which offers some of the finest views of the county, particularly from Okeford Hill. There are many bridleways and footpaths and consequently some of the best walking and riding countryside is right on the doorsteps along the Wessex Ridgeway. There is a real village community that is well served by the parish Church, popular pub and village shop. The market towns of Sturminster Newton and Blandford are both about 5 miles away and cater for everyday needs. There is a mainline station at Gillingham and the shopping centres of Poole and Dorchester are each about 20 miles away.
