About

Ferndown North is a residential area situated on the northern outskirts of the town of Ferndown, within the county of Dorset. The ward is largely characterised by modern housing estates, bungalows, and detached homes, reflecting its development as a popular commuter settlement. It is bordered by the River Stour to the north, which acts as a natural boundary. Local amenities are focused around several small parades of shops serving the immediate community.

The area is notably defined by its proximity to the extensive heathland of the Stour Valley, with Upton Heath lying to the south. This provides a contrast of open, protected landscape adjacent to the suburban housing. A specific local feature is the presence of the Merley Hall grounds, which include a garden centre and former estate lands now integrated into the residential fabric. Road connections, including the A31, provide links to Poole, Bournemouth, and the wider region.
