Dorchester, the historic county town of Dorset, is a market town with roots dating back to Roman times when it was known as Durnovaria. This rich heritage is still visible today through its preserved Roman town house ruins and the remains of its ancient town walls. The town center features Georgian architecture and maintains its traditional character with regular markets held in the town center.
Dorchester has strong literary connections, being the setting for many of Thomas Hardy's novels under the name 'Casterbridge'. The town has several museums showcasing its archaeological findings, local history, and military heritage. The surrounding countryside, part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, provides a picturesque setting for this cultural and administrative center.
