About

Cranborne Chase ward encompasses a significant portion of the expansive chalk downland and ancient woodland of the Cranborne Chase area of outstanding natural beauty. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills, dry valleys, and large, intact areas of calcareous grassland. This is a sparsely populated, rural area dominated by agriculture and forestry, with settlements consisting primarily of small villages and farmsteads scattered across the high ground.

The ward is deeply historical, containing numerous prehistoric monuments, including burial mounds and sections of the Dorset Cursus, a Neolithic processional way. A network of ancient drove roads and ridgetop tracks, such as the Ox Drove, crisscross the chalk plateau. The area is noted for its significant populations of farmland birds and its dark night skies, largely undisturbed by major urban light pollution.
