ABOUT DORCHESTER:
Dorchester is a happy example of an old fashioned county town, a proper market centre for the still-rural county. Daniel Defoe visited in the early 18th century and decided 'a man that coveted a retreat in this world might as agreeably spend his time in Dorchester, as in any town I know in England'. Defoe had seen most of the towns in England, travelling to write his Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain (1724), so his opinion was worth having.

With its bustling shopping precincts, elegant 18th century houses, broad Walks and vital cultural life, Dorchester has much to offer in relaxation and rural charm. It still has much of Hardy's Casterbridge about it but, at Maiden Castle, its history goes back to the Iron Age. Elsewhere, Roman relics and vestiges of Saxon royalty vie with re-creations of Tutankhamun's Egypt, while modern interpretations of vernacular architecture create new vistas, championed by Prince Charles.

In 1685, Judge Jeffreys presided here over the Bloody Assize following Monmouth's defeat at Sedgemoor, while in 1834, the Tolpuddle six were deported from here for their part in forming a union.
