Charlton Marshall is a compact village and civil parish in north Dorset, a couple of miles east of the market town of Blandford Forum. It sits beside the River Stour in a low-lying, pastoral river valley with a patchwork of meadows, arable fields and hedgerows, making it popular for riverside walks and wildlife watching.
The settlement has deep rural roots and a traditional village feel, with a small historic core of cottages and a church, an agricultural hinterland and strong links to nearby Blandford Forum. While farming still shapes the local economy, many residents commute to larger towns and the community remains active around the village hall, pub and seasonal events, attracting visitors looking for a peaceful Dorset countryside experience.
