Dorchester

Dorchester is world famous for its strong connection with the writer and poet Thomas Hardy.

The County town is home to Roman relics, Brewery Square and the pioneering architectural development at Poundbury. The town provides a glimpse into a fascinating past. In 1685, Judge Jeffreys notoriously hanged people and stuck their body parts around the town and in 1834 the Tolpuddle Martyrs were notoriously tried and transported for their part in illegally forming a trade union

Dorchester is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, green rolling hills, picturesque villages, and endless walking and cycling routes.
