Wareham St. Martin is the rural civil parish that encircles the medieval market town of Wareham in Dorset, England. It occupies the low-lying vale where the River Frome runs towards Poole Harbour, blending riverside meadows, heathland and small woodlands on the edge of the Purbeck landscape.
Named for its parish church of St Martin, the area has a quietly mixed economy - agriculture and small businesses alongside commuters to nearby towns, with a legacy of wartime industry at Holton Heath now giving way to trading estates. It’s popular with walkers, birdwatchers and visitors exploring the harbour and coast; village halls, local pubs and seasonal events keep a strong community feel.
