Situation

Broadmayne is a sought-after village, two miles southeast of the historic county town of Dorchester. This active and friendly community is centred around its well-stocked village shop and Post Office, the well-regarded Broadmayne First School, and the Black Dog, a popular traditional thatched pub known for its local ales and family-friendly garden. The village is steeped in history, featuring the 13th-century St Martin’s Church and is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering immediate access to the South Dorset Ridgeway for breathtaking walks and cycling.
Beyond the village, Broadmayne serves as an ideal gateway to the Jurassic Coast, with the sands and harbour of Weymouth and the dramatic cliffs of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door all within a short 15-to-20-minute drive. A mainline rail connection at Dorchester offers direct routes to London Waterloo.
