Chideock is a small village in west Dorset, England, set in a fold of rolling farmland a short drive along the A35 between Bridport and Lyme Regis. It sits close to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the prominent hill Golden Cap, so the surrounding landscape mixes agricultural vale, wooded combes and dramatic coastal scenery that draws walkers and holidaymakers.
The village has a long history and a strong local identity: timber‑framed cottages and a parish church reflect its past, and it is noted for its recusant Catholic connection and the memorial to the so‑called Chideock martyrs. Today the economy is a blend of farming and tourism, with a small community supporting local shops, pubs and holiday accommodation while hosting visitors who come for coast paths, beaches and the quieter rural life of west Dorset.
