Chydyok Cottage

 

Chydyok Cottage

Chydyok Cottage is set in a dramatic coastal landscape with rolling chalk downs and easy access to beaches at Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove in the heart of the Jurassic Coast.

This is an ideal holiday location for walkers, cyclists, wildlife enthusiasts, artists, writers and those wishing to find peace and tranquillity. Located one mile up a farmtrack, Chydyok Cottage has direct access to the extensive local network of footpaths and bridleways which cross flower-rich downland with spectacular views.

Once the home of Dorset writer Llewelyn Powys and where he socialised with other writers from the Dorset ‘Bloomsbury Group’.

Often described as one of the great apocalyptic novels of our time, WOLF SOLENT is the story of a young man returning from London to work near to the school at which his father had been history master. Complex, romantic and humorous, it is a classicwork combining a close understanding of man's everyday experience with a delicate awareness of the spiritual.

A Powys Society Meeting

Mr Weston's Good Wine is the unusual tale of the struggle between the forces of good and evil in a small Dorset village. Its action is limited to one winter's evening when Time stands still and the bitter-sweet gift of awareness falls upon a dozen memorable characters. During the book a child knocked down by his car is miraculously brought back to life; the sign 'Mr Weston's Good Wine' lights up the sky; and the villagers soon discover that the wine he sells is no ordinary wine.
