Welcome to The Chequers Inn pub, Lytchett Matravers.

The village is situated on rising ground in a landscape of small valleys, open fields and woods 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Wareham and 7 miles (11 km) north west of Poole. The elevation gives views from many parts of the village to Poole Harbour and the Purbeck hills. The village lies within the Green Belt of the Poole/Bournemouth conurbation.

Lytchett Matravers was once on the original main Poole to Dorchester road, but for the past one hundred and fifty years there has been no main road through the village. Nevertheless, there is some through commuter traffic between the main A350 and A35.
