Located on the banks of the River Stour, Blandford Forum is a small Georgian town. Blandford's wonderful architecture can be attributed to a fire in the town in 1731, after which new buildings quickly rose to replace the destruction. The town has a fascinating museum that tells the story of the fire. Around the central market place, Blandford Forum has a lovely selection of independent shops, boutiques and restaurants where you can enjoy the best of what Dorset has to offer.
