While staying in this holiday cottage Dorset and its many attractions can be explored. The nearest town is Blandford Forum, a busy market town on the River Stour between the rolling chalk downlands of the Cranborne Chase and a trio of ancient hill forts with views over Blackmore Vale. There are many idyllic villages in the area including those of the Tarrant and Winterborne valleys and Milton Abbas. This attractive village holds the distinction of being the first planned settlement in England. It was founded in 1780 when the Earl of Dorchester decided that the old village ruined the view from his new mansion at Milton Abbey. So he decided to move it in its entirety over a nearby hill, creating today's delightful village of whitewashed and thatched cottages lining a broad street.
