Flowe Delivery to Blandford Forum with Clare Florist

Interested to know what it will be like to walk down the streets lined with Georgian buildings and just be surrounded by Georgian architecture? You should come and visit Blandford Forum in Dorset . It’s not described by Donald Insall Associates as "the most complete and cohesive surviving example of a Georgian country town in England" for nothing, after all.

When a majority of this market town in the North of Dorset was destroyed by fire in 1731, the Bastard brothers John and William helped in its rebuilding. The local architects, with the assistance by an Act of Parliament and George II’s donation, the once-burnt town became a Georgian wonder. Most of the rebuilt buildings stand intact to this day. It’s one of the few places in the world that will take you back in time yet keep you tethered to the modern world.

So, yes, a visit to Blandford Forum would be one Georgian experience.

For all its curious beauty, the market town has its fair share of challenges, particularly with transportation. Train service is not available, but there are plenty of railway stations in Dorset that will take you to the closest main station at Salisbury or Wimborne Minster. From the train stops, you can travel by bus, car or bicycle.

Whichever mode of transportation you choose, you will have an opportunity to enjoy the rolling countryside with its vast expanse of green with the occasional flowers in Blandford Forum. And because the market town is surrounded by land that has a landscape value at a national significance, you will be treated to a scenery filled with colours brought on by the Blandford Forum flowers.
