Hawkchurch is a quintessential village of chocolate box cottages where Dorset meets Devon, and is named as a village of roses.

In 1894, the pioneer rose-growing rector planted roses around every door. This small village is famous for the stunning church Parish of St John the Baptist. Pop into the local pub, a traditional coaching house that has been at the site since 1543. With so much history on offer, the village of Hawkchuch is a hidden gem to discover.

There is plenty to do in the local area. Just a short drive away is the ancient Devon town of Axminster, considered the ‘gateway to the Jurassic Coast’. Axminster dates back to the Celtic time around 300BC. You can explore its history at the Heritage Centre or sample the delights of Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage.



The harbour village of Lyme Regis is also within easy reach, just 7 miles away, which is a popular spot with its famous Cobb and sandy beach. The stunning World Heritage Jurassic coastline boasts picturesque fishing villages, such as Beer and Branscombe, as well as breathtaking clifftop walks and beautiful beaches like West Bay, featured in the award-winning Broadchurch television series. Mill Cottage is an excellent base from which to enjoy many activities, from a spot of mackerel fishing to a fossil hunt in Charmouth, or walks in the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Golf and fishing can be found nearby. A great place to visit whatever the time of year. Beach 7 miles. Shop and restaurant 1½ miles, pub 1 mile.
