Sitting in an area of marshland, despite its name (which derives from ‘Fair Wood’), Verwood was something of an ugly duckling. Much of the acidic soil was waterlogged. Certainly not great for agriculture, which in turn didn’t attract settlers. But what it did have in abundance was clay, potteries were soon established and the town flourished.
Today it has become a beautiful swan, with a good selection of local independent businesses, events, parks and miles of scenery.
The May Carnival is a riot of street food, entertainment, music and more. It gets lively again at the Rustic Fair each August Bank Holiday. If you’re a firm foodie, there’s a regular market where you’ll find fresh local produce as well as household goods and essentials.
If you’re looking for things to do further afield, then the Dorset Heavy Horse and Farm Park is a short drive away.
Potterne play area offers 12 acres of sports grounds for rugby, football, tennis, netball and cricket. There is a skate park and outside exercise equipment or if you’re more of a team player there is a rugby club, cricket club, football club and bowling club.
There are several riding centres and miles and miles of bridleways to explore. Golfers can get in the swing at nearby Crane Valley, 5 minutes from the town centre. Of if you prefer your exercise without a competitive edge, Moors Valley Country Park and Forest sits on the outskirts of town.
