Plush is a small village in the English county of Dorset. It lies within the civil parish of Piddletrenthide in the West Dorset administrative district, about {{convert|8|miles|km}} north of the county town Dorchester. It is sited in a small side-valley of the River Piddle at an altitude of {{convert|130|m|ft}} and is surrounded by chalk hills which rise to {{convert|251|m|ft}} at Ball Hill, a kilometre to the northeast, and {{convert|261|m|ft}} at Lyscombe Hill, 2½ kilometres to the east.

Plush consists of a few thatched cottages, a public house, a Regency manor house and a small church dedicated to St John the Baptist; the church was designed in 1848 by Benjamin Ferrey, a Gothic Revival architect and close friend of Pugin.[1]
