Dorset is largely rural with many
small villages, few large towns, and no cities. The largest
conurbation is the South East Dorset conurbation which consists of
the seaside resort of Bournemouth, the historic port of Poole and
the town of Christchurch plus many villages. Bournemouth was created
in the Victorian era when sea bathing became popular. As an example
of how affluent the area has become, Sandbanks in Poole was
worthless land unwanted by farmers in the nineteenth century, but is
said to be amongst the highest land values by area in the world.
Bournemouth and Christchurch were added to the county from Hampshire
in the county boundary changes of 1974.
The other two major settlements in the county are Dorchester, (the
county town), and Weymouth, one of the first tourist towns,
frequented by George III, and still very popular today. Blandford
Forum, Sherborne, Gillingham, Shaftesbury and Sturminster Newton are
historical market towns which serve the farms and villages of the
Blackmore Vale (Hardy's Vale of the Little Dairies). Blandford is
home to the Badger brewery of Hall and Woodhouse. Bridport, Lyme
Regis, Wareham and Wimborne Minster are also market towns. Lyme
Regis and Swanage are small coastal towns popular with tourists.
Still in construction on the western edge of Dorchester is the
experimental new town of Poundbury, commissioned and co-designed by
Prince Charles. The suburb is designed to integrate residential and
retail buildings and counter the growth of dormitory towns and
car-oriented development.
Dorset is connected to London by two main railway lines. The West of
England Main Line runs through the north of the county at Gillingham
and Sherborne. The South Western Main Line runs through the south at
Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester and the terminus at Weymouth.
Additionally, the Heart of Wessex Line runs from Weymouth to
Bristol. Dorset is one of only four non metropolitan counties in
England not to have a single motorway. The A303, A31 and A35 trunk
roads run through the county. The only passenger airport in the
county is Bournemouth International Airport, and there are two
passenger sea ports, at Poole and Weymouth. |
