Sturminster Newton
This quiet, unspoilt town is positioned at the heart of the Blackmore Vale. Its two parts are attractively set on either side of the River Stour and linked by a fine medieval bridge. The town has connections with two of Dorset's most famous writers; Thomas Hardy lived here for a while, and it was the birthplace of William Barnes, the poet.
