Cattistock is a small rural village and civil parish in Dorset, set among the hedged fields and rolling downland of west Dorset not far from the county town of Dorchester. The settlement retains a collection of stone cottages, quiet lanes and a village green that make it a popular spot for walkers and riders exploring the surrounding countryside.
The village is centred on a handsome parish church with an elegant spire and has a long agricultural history, with mixed arable and livestock farms still shaping the local economy. Community life is active for a place of its size, with a village hall, pub and occasional village events; the area is also known historically for the local foxhound pack, the Cattistock Hunt, which has long been part of rural social life.
