ABOUT HOGCHESTER
A farm that feeds
the soul...
Hogchester is the 70-acre remnant of a Dorset dairy farm with a deep-rooted local history stretching back a thousand years. With a beautiful rural landscape as its backdrop, our farm sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with unspoilt views of Charmouth and the Jurassic Coast.
Amongst the rich tapestry of wildlife, you’ll find a secluded location to rest and relax with all the access and amenities you’ll need for an exciting seaside holiday.
Meadow Makers
Helping wildflower
meadows thrive
Hogchester’s famous wildflower meadows are a haven for wildlife and a resource for conservation. As part of the Meadow Maker initiative, we harvest and share seeds to restore meadows across West Dorset.
Learn how you can create your own wildflower meadow and support our own conservation efforts.
A lovely walk through wildflower meadows with wonderful views to the sea. On a Saturday luckily cake and refreshments were available. It's good to see that profits are ploughed back into conservation and other charities.
