Dorchester is the county town of Dorset, Thomas Hardy's 'Casterbridge', with a history stretching back to the Roman period when it was Durnovaria. The town is the administrative centre for Dorset Council, hosts the county's main hospital and courts, and has a thriving antiques and independent retail scene in its Georgian and Victorian centre. Poundbury, Prince Charles's model village, is now substantially complete on its western edge.
“County town with innovative Poundbury development. Strong agricultural economy. Thomas Hardy literary heritage.”
