Location
Owermoigne, a quaint little Dorset village, lies just off the main A35 with the ancient church of St Michael at the heart of the village overlooking the village green. Opposite the church and along the lane are some delightful whitewashed thatched cottages. Despite being inland, the smugglers of long ago used Owermoigne as a convenient storage place and hid their contraband in the church tower! Owermoigne was originally a Saxon settlement by the name of Ogre latterly Oweres: not too hard to see how the joining of Ower and the name of the landholding family of Le Moigne came to give the village its name. On a practical note, the village has a petrol filling station with well-stocked farm shop and a village hall with a cricket club next door offering open membership serving as a social meeting point.

It is also easily accessible to the county town of Dorchester with its excellent range of facilities, including mainline railway station (to London/Waterloo) which lies approx 7 miles west. There is also a mainline station at Moreton to London/Waterloo (approx. 2 miles). The World Heritage coastline is approximately 2.5 miles south, with beautiful Ringstead Bay approximately 3 miles distance and within similar distance is the golf course at Came Down. The area is understandably designated as one of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and with the countryside on your doorstep, there is plentiful opportunity for walking and riding.
