Owermoigne is a small rural village and civil parish in Dorset, England, set on chalk downland a few miles from the south coast and the Jurassic Coast. The area is a mix of rolling hills, farmland and pockets of ancient hedgerow and woodland, giving it the quiet, picture‑postcard character typical of south Dorset villages and a sense of place that features in the landscape of Thomas Hardy’s Wessex.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, with a steady trickle of visitors drawn by countryside walks, birdwatching and nearby coastal fossil sites; community life centres on traditional village institutions such as the pub and hall, and the village acts as a peaceful base for exploring nearby Dorchester and the surrounding Dorset countryside.
