It lies {{convert|2.5|mi|km}} south of Sturminster Newton and {{convert|6|mi|km}} northwest of Blandford Forum. It is sited on greensand[1] beneath the north slopes of Bell Hill, part of the Dorset Downs. Belchalwell is Saxon in origin, with a medieval church, St Aldhelm's Church, much renovated. The name of the village describes a cold well on a hillside.[2] The village has approximately 30 properties with fewer than a hundred residents, and is much reduced in size from former times, largely due to reductions in agricultural employment, which has always been the primary industry. One former resident was the TV personality Jack Hargreaves.
