Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in Dorchester.
Dorchester is the county town of Dorset with a rich history
dating back to prehistoric and Roman times. Two miles southwest
of the town centre, on a steep chalk hill, is the large Iron
Age hill fort Maiden Castle (photo), which was one of the most
powerful settlements in pre-Roman Britain. In the town, the Old
Shire Hall still contains the Old Crown Court where in 1834 the
six Tolpuddle Martyrs were sentenced to seven years transportation
to Botany Bay. At the top of the town stands the statue of Thomas
Hardy. Born in Higher Bockhamton, Hardy made Dorchester famous
in his novel The Mayor of Casterbridge.If you are in the right
town but cannot find the accommodation you want on this page,
