About

Chickerell is a coastal ward situated west of Weymouth, characterised by a mix of residential development and agricultural land. The area includes the main settlement of Chickerell village, along with the smaller hamlet of Chickerell Hive and stretches of land bordering the Fleet lagoon. The local economy has historical ties to farming, though it now also serves as a commuter base for the larger Weymouth and Portland area.

The topography is generally low-lying, with the ward's western boundary defined by the brackish waters of The Fleet, a notable natural lagoon. A specific network of ancient footpaths, including the Wessex Ridgeway, traverses the area, connecting the hinterland to the coast. Residential patterns show a distinction between the older village core and more modern housing estates built in recent decades.
