Sixpenny Handley

Motorhome Stopovers in Sixpenny Handley

Sixpenny Handley is a village on Cranborne Chase in northeast Dorset, set in the chalk downland that stretches across the Dorset and Wiltshire border. The B3081 connects it to Shaftesbury to the northwest and Ringwood to the southeast, making it accessible from the A354 Blandford-to-Salisbury road. Cranborne Chase is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — dark skies, ancient drove roads, and open downland make this a genuinely quiet corner of southern England.

The Motorhome Stopover Club lists verified stopovers across the Chase and surrounding villages — useful for motorhomers who want to explore the AONB without heading to the busier Dorset coast. Motorhome-friendly stops in this part of Dorset are well worth knowing about.

Stops in the Area

  • Pub stopovers — rural pubs on Cranborne Chase and along the B3081 corridor
  • Campervan stops — quiet overnight options on the chalk downland away from main tourist routes
  • Member reviews — first-hand accounts from motorhomers exploring the Cranborne Chase AONB
