About New Town
New Town offers a quiet contemplation of Dorset's rolling heartland. It lies 11.3 km south-east of Shaftesbury (from Shaftesbury: bearing 130°T, OS grid ST 949 156), and is situated west-north-west of Farnham village. The hamlet unfolds with a gentle grace, where hedgerows, thick with the scent of hawthorn in bloom, trace the contours of the land, their ancient lines whispering of seasons past. The houses of New Town, built from the warm, honeyed stone characteristic of this region, seem to absorb the pale, diffused sunlight of the South West, giving the lanes a soft, inviting glow. A sense of enduring quietude pervades, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of leaves, suggesting a place content in its own unhurried existence.
