Sturminster Newton lies on the River Stour, surrounded by picturesque countryside, about 9 miles from Blandford Forum. Historically, the town lay in the heart of Dorset dairying and cheese-making country and this heritage is celebrated with the wonderful Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival each September. This little market town was also home to author Thomas Hardy and Victorian poet William Barnes. The B and B is ideally located to explore the countryside walking and cycling trails or head for the coast to Poole, only 23 miles away, where the famous South-West Coastal Path begins.
