The Area
Sturminster Newton is a historic fording point of the River Stour, in the 16th century a six-arch stone bridge replaced the ford. In the19th-century, a plaque was affixed to the bridge stating that anyone damaging the bridge would be transported to Australia as a felon, so please do be careful. To the south of the river is the watermill, which, was restored in 1980 and it is now a working museum. On the hill above the bridge over the river, are the ruins of Sturminster Newton Castle, which sadly are not open to the public. The town has an excellent range of shops, eateries and public houses, many of which are in fabulous period buildings, there are also Doctor's and Dentist Practices and a busy theatre and exhibition centre. The more active can access the Dorset Trailway, following the old railway line to Spetisbury and the Stour Way which runs from the Rivers' source all the way to the sea. The World Famous Jurassic Coast is some 45 minutes by car and here you can participate in all kinds of water based activities.
