Chideock is a small village and civil parish in West Dorset, England, tucked beside the Marshwood Vale and straddling the main road between Bridport and Lyme Regis. It sits within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast and the dramatic slopes of Golden Cap, making it a handy base for coastal walks and countryside rambles.
Locally the economy is a mix of farming and visitor services, with holiday cottages, a pub and community facilities serving residents and walkers on the South West Coast Path. The village also has a distinct historical character: its stone cottages and lanes reflect centuries of rural life, and Chideock is known for its recusant Catholic history, remembered through the story of the Chideock Martyrs.
