Maiden Newton, Dorset

Flower Delivery to Maiden Newton with Clare Florist

Maiden Newton is a civil parish and, together with the parish of Frome Vauchurch, makes up the community West Dorset in England. Though a sleepy village with only a thousand residents, it is a good stopover considering that many of the roads and railways pass through here. The Maiden Newton railway and the A356 main road both serve the village. The good transport links in the village also make it a good jump off to other equally enchanting places in England such as Weymouth, Bristol and Bath.

A Light Industrial Town

Like Tang Hall, Maiden Newton is also famous for the confluence of two rivers namely Frome and Hooke. These rivers are notable places to find good fishing grounds as well as wild Maiden Newton flowers in full bloom. The landscape and infrastructure of the village would have made it a great market town up until the present, but with the blooming market of neighboring Dorchster, Maiden Newton has now become a light industrial town.

Rich Biodiversity

Despite burgeoning as an industrial town, Maiden Newton is home to a large array of plant and animal species. In fact a new species of moth, the Blairs Wainscott, was found on one of the village trails. The village is also filled with interesting flowering plants, and these flowers in Maiden Newton indicate the thriving biodiversity in the area.

Old Stuff in Maiden Newton

Though most ancient churches pose interesting details, workmanship and history, the St Mary church in Maiden Newton is impressive in its own right. It was built during the Anglo-Saxon period, and has witnessed two wars – a civil war that holed its doors and the war against the Germans that destroyed its window and altar. St Mary's door is likewise considered as the oldest wooden church door in all of England. Another ancient architectural landmark in the village is a fire engine, again the oldest in England, which has been restored into functional status.

Charming Accommodations

Maiden Newton offers elegant accommodations such as the Notton Hill Barn Cottages, most of which are repurposed barns and cottages, with their antique details kept intact. These cottages and farms date back to the 18th century or earlier, and are reminiscent of the old days in England. Many of these promising accommodations offer picturesque views of the countryside, with private yards surrounded by trees, Maiden Newton flowers and fields in addition to the unbeatable English hospitality.
