Dorchester is the county town of Dorset, England. It is situated on the River Frome, south of the Dorset Downs and north of the South Dorset Ridgeway, in the Frome Valley, near to Lower Bockhampton, Broadmayne, Steepleton, Piddletrenthide, and Osmington and is one of over 130 towns and villages in Dorset in which Go2 has cottages or holidays lets available. The nearest main cities are Wells (population 10,406), Bath (population 90,144), and Bristol (which has a population of 420,556 according to the 2001 Census).
Dorchester is an historic market town, perhaps best known as being both the home and the inspiration of Thomas Hardy, whose based his novel 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' on Dorchester. Many of his other novels were, of course, based on 'Wessex' which is mainly based on the Dorset area of South West England.
