Plenty to do on the doorstep
Just across the River Stour, you’ll find the lively heart of Blandford Forum, with its mix of restaurants, pubs, independent shops and high street brands – including an M&S food hall and the popular Blandford Forum Indoor Market – a haven for collectibles and bric-a-brac with a charming café. With the river close by, there are plenty of opportunities for a scenic stroll into the glorious Dorset countryside. Try the Stour Valley Way which begins at Blandford Bridge and meanders through the Crown Meadows and Deer Park.

Local Area

The retirement development is situated in Blandford St Mary on the south bank of the River Stour, immediately opposite the centre of Blandford Forum. The village was built around the Badger Brewery and you could do worse than enjoy a craft beer – or coffee and cake - at the beautifully restored Brewery Tap, Blandford. Or for an usual day out why not explore Blandford Fashion Museum which also boasts a lovely tearoom.

The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 30/09/2023

Directions

Blandford nestles in the heart of the gorgeous Dorset countryside and is close to an array of attractions including the impressive National Trust Kingston Lacey estate, with its scenic walks down to the Eye Bridge or Pamphill Green.

You can reach the breath-taking Jurassic coast in under an hour, for cliff tops walks, fossil hunting and kayaking at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. The beaches of Bournemouth are just 40 minutes away and it is easy to hop onto the Blandford to Bournemouth or Blandford to Poole bus to enjoy a traditional seaside day out.
