Stalbridge & Marnhull

About

Stalbridge & Marnhull ward covers a rural expanse in northeast Dorset, characterised by rolling farmland and small settlements. The area centres on the two main villages of Stalbridge and Marnhull, which provide local services and community hubs. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with dairy and arable farming shaping the open views and quiet lanes that connect scattered hamlets.

The local economy is closely tied to the land, with farming remaining a central activity. Marnhull is noted as the "Marlott" in Thomas Hardy's *Tess of the d'Urbervilles*, a literary connection that persists in local heritage. The ward's quiet character is defined by its working countryside, parish churches, and the absence of larger urban development, maintaining a distinctly pastoral setting.
