Here we take a look at how the names of Dorset's quirkiest sounding and - smallest - places came about. It is from the Old English 'hleo' or 'Hleow' and 'wella,' so we have a 'well, or spring, with a shelter.' From Old English 'corf and 'geat,' hence 'a gate at the cutting or gap.' The name's origins are not quite as straightforward as they seem, though there is nothing too complicated about them. Radipole, for instance, comes from the Old English hreod and pol, a reed pool referring to Radipole Lake.
