Located on the banks of the River Stour, Blandford Forum is the most complete, small Georgian town in England. Following an extensive fire in 1731 Blandford Forum "rose like the phoenix from its ashes, to its present beautiful and flourishing state" as the Fire Monument in the Market place states.
This unique Georgian gem with its stunning architecture, charming parish church and wonderful market place was the inspiration of local architects and builders the Bastard Brothers. A visit to the town's quaint museum tells the intriguing story of the rebirth of the town.
Surrounding the attractive market place is a variety of independent shops and boutiques, cafes, restaurants and pubs. For a local 'tipple' pay a visit to the Hall and Woodhouse Brewery and shop.
