History<\/span><\/h3>\n

Blandford Forum is famous for the fire of June 1731 which decimated most of the town – it was so severe that it melted the lead roof on the town’s church. The town was rebuilt and now represents a stunning example of Georgian architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Location and Travel<\/span><\/h3>\n

Situated at the convergence of the A350 and A354, Blandford Forum is a charming market town in Dorset which is also home to Blandford Camp which is the military base of the Royal Corps of Signals. Situated alongside the beautiful River Stour, Blandford Forum is only 13 miles northwest of Poole and 22 miles southwest of Salisbury. Blandford Forum is also only a short drive from Cranbourne Chase and the Dorset Downs, making it a perfect base for those who enjoy long walks in the countryside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Amenities<\/span><\/h3>\n

A perfect destination for holiday-makers and day-trippers alike, Blandford Forum has something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Military aficionados are very likely to enjoy a spectacle of military vehicle convoys moving between their base and Salisbury Plains whilst the Royal Signals Museum at the base is open to the public and well worth a visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

For lovers of history and architecture, Blandford Forum has a lovely church which is open to the public as well as a museum which provides a fascinating insight into the history of the area, whilst the Blandford Fashion Museum contains a large collection of historical costumes. The Great Dorset Steam Fair takes place annually in the town and is the world’s largest heritage and cultural event, boasting over 2000 exhibits including an old-fashioned steam funfair. This is a must-see for the whole family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blandford Forum is also a perfect stop for families wanting to walk around the beautiful marketplace, enjoying the range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Those who enjoy outdoor activities should not miss the North Dorset Trailway which is a lovely walking and cycling path which runs alongside a disused railway line with regular views of the River Stour. Many choose to take a picnic with them when they enjoy a day out on the Trailway.<\/span><\/p>\n
