Beaminster and the places nearby.
Beaminster is a small golden-stone market town in west Dorset, tucked in a bowl of hills a few miles inland from Bridport and the Jurassic Coast. Thomas Hardy fictionalised it as Emminster, and it still has the feel of a quiet, self-contained place with a square of independent shops. Its customers are a mix of long-standing farming families, retirees and people who moved out of cities for the countryside, many living in old stone houses and cottages. Tradespeople who understand period buildings, and say so clearly, have an advantage here, as does naming the surrounding villages.
Closest to Beaminster within Dorset: Bridport (5 miles), Lyme Regis (10 miles) and Sherborne (14 miles). Just over the council boundary, Crewkerne (6 miles) is close by. Further out, Yeovil (10 miles), Chard (11 miles), Ilminster (11 miles) and Axminster (11 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
