Stratton is a small rural parish in north Dorset, England, set among the rolling farmland and hedged lanes typical of the county. The village has medieval roots reflected in its compact layout and stone buildings, with a parish church and scattered farmsteads that hint at a long agricultural history.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, though many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Sherborne, and community life centres on a village hall, occasional fêtes and traditional pub gatherings. It’s the quiet, scenic character and network of lanes and footpaths that make Stratton appealing to walkers and anyone seeking a slice of rural Dorset life.
