LOCATION Piddlehinton lies in the much sought-after Piddle Valley and is surrounded by lovely Dorset countryside - much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This charming village has an active community which includes the parish church of St Mary, a Village Hall, the Millennium Green recreational area, and the popular Thimble Inn. Piddletrenthide, less than 2 miles north, also has a first school and village shop. The village lies just under 6 miles to the north east of the county town of Dorchester which has an excellent range of facilities with shops, schools, restaurants and the county hospital. Of particular note is the Conran-designed development at Brewery Square with its cinema, bars, restaurants and leading shops. There is a Waitrose, Tesco, and Lidl in Dorchester for everyday shopping. Up the valley in the other direction is the busy abbey town of Sherborne. Both towns have mainline railway stations with a fast regular service to London Waterloo.
