Lying between the rivers Allen and Crane, the village of Horton has an attractive church and a village pub and shop on the outskirts.
The village's unique landmark, Horton Tower, was built in 1750 by Humphrey Sturt as an observatory to watch the movement of deer when he could no longer ride. The tower marks the centre of East Dorset district.
