Stourpaine is a small rural village in North Dorset, lying in the valley of the River Stour about 3 miles northwest of Blandford Forum on the A350 road toward Shaftesbury. It sits between the Cranborne Chase and Dorset Downs chalk hills in a beautiful countryside setting. The village has Anglo-Saxon roots; the Church of Holy Trinity starts from the late 12th century (around 1190). Parts of it were rebuilt in the 19th century, but the medieval tower remains. The village sits beneath the Ancient landscape of Hod Hill, one of Dorset’s largest Iron Age hillforts, a notable archaeological and walking destination. The village has an active community with clubs, societies, and regular events centred on the village hall, playing fields, and sports facilities. The White Horse pub remains a key social hub. The historic Georgian market town of Blandford Forum is some 3.5 miles distant offering everyday needs, including supermarkets, banks, medical and dental practices, leisure facilities, and well-regarded schools for all ages. The Blandford Leisure Centre includes a swimming pool, gym and sports facilities.
