Come along on Saturday 10th October for a coach trip to visit some pretty towns in north Dorset!
About the day The county of Dorset sits in South West England. It's known for its chalk uplands, its stunning countryside and its postcard perfect towns & villages built in local stone.
We will be visiting three small and pretty towns in north Dorset:
Blandford Forum Blandford Forum is a market town on the River Stour. It is notable for its Georgian architecture, the result of rebuilding after a major fire in 1731 and today its considered the most complete Georgian town in England. Its also home to the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery, detailing the counties history and you also get access to the remains of a Roman town house next door.
Sturminster Newton Sturminster Newton is a pretty town which also sits on the River Stour and is set in a large dairy agricultural region. It has links with the novelist Thomas Hardy, when he lived in the town for 2 years and the town has a mixture of medieval, 18th and 19th century buildings. It also has a museum about the history of the town.
Shaftesbury Shaftesbury is an ancient hilltop market town famous for the steep cobbled street Gold Hill, which was featured in the classic 1970s Hovis bread TV advert. It also has historic ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey founded by King Alfred the Great in 888 AD.
