About

Hill Forts & Upper Tarrants ward encompasses a rural expanse of central Dorset, characterised by chalk downland and rolling agricultural land. The area's name derives from the ancient earthworks scattered across its landscape, including prominent sites like Hod Hill. Settlement is sparse, consisting primarily of small villages and farmsteads connected by narrow lanes.

The ward includes the villages of Tarrant Monkton and Tarrant Gunville, with the latter historically associated with the now-vanished Eastbury Park estate. The River Tarrant, a minor chalk stream, gives its name to the several 'Tarrant' settlements here. Land use is predominantly farming, with a quiet atmosphere defined by its open skies and historical topography.
