Milton Abbas, Administrative division in Dorset, England
Milton Abbas features 36 thatched cottages constructed from cob materials, positioned along the main street with identical designs and front lawns.
The village underwent complete relocation in 1773 under Lord Milton's direction, moving from its original location within Milton Abbey grounds to its current position.
The local community maintains several active groups, including the History Group, Women's Group, and Wildlife Conservation initiatives for village preservation.
Milton Abbas provides community transportation through M.A.T.C.H services, while the Village Notice Board communicates important information to residents.
Every two years, the village transforms into an 18th-century setting with residents wearing period costumes, performing traditional music and demonstrating historical crafts.
