Chickerell is a small parish and town on the western edge of Weymouth in rural Dorset, England. It sits just inland from the south‑coast resorts and is within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast, with rolling limestone downs and farmland giving way to coastal walking and beaches a short drive away.
Originally a modest agricultural settlement, Chickerell has grown into a mainly residential community with some light industry and local shops, serving commuters to nearby centres such as Weymouth and Dorchester. The parish retains a strong community feel with active local groups and green spaces, and its proximity to the naval and maritime heritage of Portland and Portland Harbour adds an extra historic dimension to the area.
