Bloxworth
The parish lies at the south west corner of the Benefice and the village is surrounded by farmland and woodland. It is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is very popular for walking and riding.
The village club is situated near the church, and both the church and club work together to support the community. The skittle alley within the club is a significant asset, helping to attract a number of car clubs and the like to have their social gatherings at Bloxworth.
You may recognise Bloxworth from a film adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s novel “Far from the Madding Crowd”.
