Category: A Country Living

The BV magazine believe that a country living is about more than rustic charm and picturesque landscapes. It’s about a way of life that is deeply rooted in its people. In the tradition and values that have been passed down from generation to generation. At BV magazine, we celebrate the rich culture and heritage of the Dorset countryside, and we are committed to preserving and promoting the traditional skills and crafts that make it so special.

Our website features a variety of articles, blog posts, and features on the traditional crafts and trades that are a vital part of country living. From blacksmithing and fishmongering to willow coffin weaving and roof thatching. Arborists, bakers, hedgelayers and potters… the list goes on. Our Dorset experts are carefully selected for their knowledge and expertise in their chosen craft. We feature in-depth interviews with the craftsmen and tradespeople who have dedicated their lives to these traditional skills, offering readers a unique insight into their world with the BV’s trademark stunning photography.

In addition to our features on traditional crafts and trades, we also offer a range of resources and information on other aspects of country living. Our website includes articles on farming and agriculture, gardening and horticulture, and rural lifestyle and culture.

At BV magazine, we believe that country living is a way of life that is worth celebrating and preserving. The BV is always for those who are passionate about traditional crafts, skills, and trades. Whether you are an experienced craftsperson, or simply have an interest in a traditional Dorset way of life, BV magazine has everything you need to embrace and enjoy the richness and diversity of country living.
