Sturminster Newton is a historic market town situated in the Blackmore Vale area of Dorset, England. The town's history dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. It developed as an important center for the region's dairy industry and cattle market, which operated for over 700 years until its closure in 1997.
The town is divided by the River Stour, with the historic watermill being one of its most notable landmarks. This mill, parts of which date back to the 17th century, has been carefully preserved and serves as a testament to the town's industrial heritage.
The area has cultural connections to the poet and novelist Thomas Hardy, who lived and worked in the town for a brief period, during which he wrote his novel 'The Return of the Native'. Today, Sturminster Newton maintains its traditional market town character while serving as a cultural hub for the surrounding rural communities.
