Situated on the outskirts of Raymonds Hill, Burrowshot is a small hamlet on the road to Lyme Regis. Axminster and Lyme Regis are easily accessible for everyday needs. Lyme Regis is famed for its many historic connections and character buildings, and of course, for its well-known Cobb Harbour. As a resort, it is considered quite unspoilt, but has most of the shops and amenities that one could require. In addition to which there are numerous leisure activities including both sailing and power boat clubs, a cliff top golf course and a bowling club. The whole coastline with Lyme Regis and Charmouth at its centre has been designated a World Heritage Site commonly known as the Jurassic Coast. The Chase lies approximately 2 miles from the market town of Axminster, with its main line railway connections to Waterloo (Approx. 2 3/4 hours). Taunton and Exeter are within a radius of about 30 miles with access to the M5 motorway and the county town of Dorchester is a similar distance. Locally there are excellent primary schools in Lyme Regis and Uplyme along with the well-respected Woodroffe and Colyton Grammar School.
