Blandford Forum tourist information
Blandford Forum, on the River Stour, the town was rebuilt in 1731 after a great fire destroyed much of the centre, the work was completed within 30 years by the Bastard brothers, who were noted period architects. As a result it is one of the best preserved Georgian towns in England.
The market place is much as it has been for over two hundred years.
The town hosts the week long Great Dorset Steam Fair every September, a large gathering of steam tractors and stationary engines.
