About

Wimborne Minster ward centres on the historic market town of the same name, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Allen. The area is defined by its significant ecclesiastical heritage, dominated by the Minster Church, a notable example of Norman and Gothic architecture that has shaped the town's layout for centuries. The street pattern retains a medieval character, with narrow lanes leading to a central square that hosts a regular market.

The ward includes residential neighbourhoods extending from the compact town centre, blending older properties with more recent developments. A specific feature is the town's functioning model village, a detailed 1/10th scale recreation of the local area. Surrounding landscapes consist of water meadows and watercress beds along the river valleys, with the land gradually rising to the north towards the Cranborne Chase area of chalk downland.
