About Belchalwell
Belchalwell is a quaint village located in the Blackmore Vale, now part of Okeford Fitzpaine in Dorset. Situated approximately 2.5 miles south of Sturminster Newton and 6 miles northwest of Blandford Forum, it features a mix of Upper Greensand and clay geology beneath the slopes of Bell Hill. Once a civil parish with a population of 169 in 1881, Belchalwell was merged with neighbouring parishes in 1885, making it a notable area for those researching local planning applications and developments. It sits within the Okeford Fitzpaine district.
