This picturesque village lies among the chalk hills of the Dorset Downs. It is located in the valley of Sydling Water, a small river that runs from the village to the River Frome. Sydling St Nicholas lies within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is famous for its unspoiled hills, forests and heaths. The village has been inhabited for nearly 5,000 years, evidenced by the discovery of Neolithic hand axes and Bronze and Iron Age pottery in the area. On the doorstep of holiday cottages in Sydling St Nicholas, the village has some of the county’s finest architecture, including more than 50 listed buildings. Little bridges cross the river to the thatched cottages that stand on its banks. Don’t miss 15th century St Nicholas Church, with its spectacular tower, Norman font, and gargoyles.
