The River Frome in Dorset flows for some 30 miles from the chalk
uplands of central Dorset into Poole Harbour near Wareham. Its
source is St John's Well in the village of Evershot, and from here
it flows through some of Dorset's most scenic and historic
landscapes. The river passes a wide variety of settlements,
including the county town of Dorchester, the Saxon walled town of
Wareham, and picturesque villages such as Cattistock and Moreton. A
fascinating array of historic features fill the valley: a railway
built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, earthworks of a Roman aqueduct
and, most surprising of all, several miles of water meadow systems,
which fertilised the land during the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. Called 'The Vale of the Great Dairies' in the works of
Thomas Hardy, paths and lanes make it easy to explore the Frome
valley and follow the river's course from Evershot to Wareham.
