Grove is a small settlement in the county of Dorset in south‑west England, typical of the county’s quieter rural corners. The name suggests a historic pocket of trees and the village sits amid rolling farmland, hedgerows and chalk downland that characterise much of inland Dorset.
Like many Dorset hamlets it has strong agricultural roots and a modest local economy, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns for work. Historically shaped by parish and estate patterns, the built environment often includes vernacular stone and thatch, and socially the place tends to have a close‑knit community with local events and easy access to the county’s countryside and coastal attractions.
