Chilfrome (/ˈtʃɪlˌfruːm/) is a small village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southwest England. It lies in the Dorset unitary authority administrative area, approximately 9 miles (14 km) northwest of the county town Dorchester. It is situated between the villages of Cattistock and Maiden Newton in the upper reaches of the Frome Valley in the Dorset Downs. The parish church was largely restored in 1864, though it has a thirteenth-century chancel-arch, a partly fourteenth-century nave,[2] and windows dating from the fifteenth century.[3] The parish church dates from the 14th century and is a Grade II* Listed Building.[4] Dorset County Council estimate that in 2013 the population of the civil parish was 40.[1]
Three long-distance footpaths, the Wessex Ridgeway, the Macmillan Way and the Frome Valley Trail, all pass through the village.[5][6][7]
