Welcome to Bloxworth

Bloxworth is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. It is situated in the Purbeck district and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 12th-century church of St. Andrew, which is a Grade I listed building. The church has a Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower, and it is a popular destination for visitors to the area.

The village of Bloxworth has a rich history, dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. It was once a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings in the area. Today, the village is much quieter, with a population of around 200 people. However, it still retains its rural charm and is a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Bloxworth is its location. The village is situated in the heart of the Purbeck Hills, which offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. There are many walking and cycling routes in the area, and visitors can explore the nearby villages of Bere Regis and Wool. The village is also close to the Jurassic Coast, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK.
