    Situated in the beautiful Blackmore Vale, Gillingham is Dorset’s most northerly town. It was the subject of a number of pictures by England’s most famous landscape painter, John Constable. Dating back to an earlier Iron Age settlement, Gillingham has been inhabited through Roman occupation, Viking invasion, Norman conquest, as well as playing its part in WWII.

    Today it’s a small, lively town with a fine selection of shops, good amenities and handy transport links.
