About this property

Child Okeford History: Nestled beneath the dramatic slopes of Hambledon Hill in the Blackmore Vale, the village boasts a rich heritage, with evidence of settlement dating back thousands of years and one of Britain’s finest Iron Age hill forts overlooking the village. The village was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Acford. The name Okeford derives from the Old English meaning “ford by the oak tree”, Today, Child Okeford is a highly desirable North Dorset village, combining a strong community spirit with a picturesque rural setting, excellent countryside walks and easy access to nearby market towns.
