The area around Blandford Forum.
Blandford Forum is a Georgian market town on the Stour, rebuilt almost entirely after a great fire and still one of the best-preserved Georgian towns in England. It is home to a well-known brewery, and the Royal Signals camp just outside brings military families. Many buildings are listed, so conservation experience matters for trades. Businesses should serve the surrounding villages and the camp, and service families who move in regularly search online first.
Sturminster Newton (8 miles), Wimborne Minster (9 miles), Shaftesbury (10 miles) and Stalbridge (12 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in Poole (12 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Blandford Forum itself, we build for businesses in Blandford St Mary, Pimperne, Bryanston, Charlton Marshall, Durweston and Blandford Camp.
Blandford Forum (postcode area DT) sits about 60 miles east of Exeter.
