Stour Row is a small rural village in north Dorset, England, set in the gentle farmland of the Blackmore Vale close to the chalk uplands of Cranborne Chase. It’s a compact cluster of cottages and farmsteads surrounded by hedged lanes and rolling countryside, a quiet spot popular with walkers and people seeking a rural pace of life.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the local economy still leans on small-scale farming and equestrian activities, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns. The village retains a resilient community feel, with period stone and thatch buildings hinting at its past and village gatherings and hall events keeping social life alive in a typically Dorset way.
