Welcome to Chideock

Chideock is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. It is situated on the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The name Chideock is believed to have originated from the Old English words "ceap" and "doc," meaning "market place by the stream."

One of the most notable landmarks in Chideock is St. Giles Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The church is built from local stone and features a beautiful stained glass window depicting the crucifixion of Jesus. Another popular attraction in the village is the Golden Cap, a hill that offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the sea. The hill is the highest point on the south coast of England and is a popular spot for hiking and picnicking.

Chideock is also home to a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, serving locally sourced food and drink. The village is known for its hospitality and friendly atmosphere, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Whether you're looking to explore the natural beauty of the Jurassic Coast or simply relax in a charming English village, Chideock is the perfect place to visit.
