A casual glance of this delightful village is unlikely to give any hint of the curious history hidden here. Bravery awards (for the entire village!), civil war, Romans, May poles and beer, Shillingstone has celebrated them all and today still enjoys being a little bit unique. The village sits within Blackmore Vale, a stunning area of the West Country that is rich in independent producers of all kinds of artful and tasty treats. The village has a close community and access to miles of unspoilt scenery.
Railway enthusiasts can enjoy a day or even volunteer time at the North Dorset Railway located in the village. There are several societies and clubs covering a wide range of interests, sewing, yoga, gardening, beekeeping, crafts, bell-ringing, tai chi, plus a village hall, community orchard and the WI. There are also play areas and playing fields for younger residents.
