About Gaunts

Gaunts is a small Dorset village reached via country lanes off the A31, which connects it to Bournemouth, Southampton and London. Local roads link nearby settlements like Holt and Chalbury, with the A350 and A354 providing routes north to Bath and south to Weymouth. The village sits amid typical Dorset heath and woodland, with Bournemouth Airport easily accessible and over 100 EV charging points in the area. The name derives from the medieval Gaunt family who held lands here seven centuries ago.
