VERWOOD IS SITUATED IN THE COUNTY OF DORSET IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND

BETWEEN CRANBORNE CHASE AND THE NEW FOREST

5 MILES FROM THE MARKET TOWN OF RINGWOOD

ABOUT 12 MILES NORTH OF BOURNEMOUTH, 20 MILES SOUTH OF SALISBURY

AND 25 MILES WEST OF SOUTHAMPTON

IT LIES ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF MILES FROM ITS HISTORIC MOTHER CHURCH OF CRANBORNE

AND IS SURROUNDED BY MANY OTHER INTERESTING AND HISTORIC LITTLE VILLAGES

THIS IS THE NUCLEUS OF VERWOOD TODAY

STILL FOLLOWING ITS ANCIENT ROAD PATTERNS

BUT INTERLACED WITH MANY NEW ROADS AND HOUSING ESTATES

IT IS STILL SURROUNDED BY COMMONS, COUNTRYSIDE AND FARMLAND
