A Tourists guide to places a bit off of the beaten track in Dorset, I drive past this mill about 70 times a year, but there is no real parking place, so I had to be careful of passing traffic. The sight of places like this makes life worth living! And hopefully as the years go by Dorset, England will become more of a tourist destination and more and more effort will be put in to make everything quaint and beautiful.

Sturminster Newton is a town and civil parish in the Blackmore Vale area of Dorset, England. It is situated on a low limestone ridge in a meander of the River Stour. The town is at the centre of a large dairy agriculture region, around which the town's economy is built. The larger part of the town (Sturminster) lies on the north side of the river, and includes most shops and services, whilst to the south is the smaller Newton. Between these two areas is a wide flood plain. The town was the home of poet and author William Barnes, and, for part of his life, Thomas Hardy. The town has 43 shops, a primary and secondary school, and a school and college catering for children with special educational needs.
A market is held in the town on Mondays. One of the largest cattle markets in England used to be held here, but the market was closed in 1998 and now in its place stands a housing estate and a 300-seat community arts centre called The Exchange. The town is part of the historic West Country Carnival circuit.
Sturminster Newton was recorded in the Anglo Saxon charter in 968 as Nywetone at Stoure, and in the Domesday Book as Newentone. Newton refers to a new farm or estate, and Sturminster to a church (minster) on the Stour. Originally the two parts of the name referred to the settlements on the north and south of the river, but were combined to distinguish the town from Sturminster Marshall and other Newtons.
Hidden on the hill above the bridge over the river are the ruins of Sturminster Newton Castle, a manor house rather than a defensive building. The 14th-century building stands on a crescent shaped mound which could be the site of an Iron Age hill fort. The town and castle were part of Sturminster Newton hundred.
Sturminster Newton is situated at a historic fording point on the Stour. The ford was replaced in the 16th century with a six-arch stone bridge, and a quarter kilometre embankment crossing the flood plain. The bridge was widened from 12 to 18ft in 1820. A 19th-century plaque affixed to the bridge states that anyone damaging the bridge would be transported to Australia as a felon. On the south bank of the river is the watermill which was restored in 1980 and is now a museum.
The town centre is built in a mixture of styles, including 17th- and 18th-century thatched cottages, Georgian stone buildings, and 19th-century brick buildings. Set back from the main road is the market square and parish church of St Mary , which was rebuilt in 1486 by the abbots of Glastonbury. The church was heavily modified in the 19th century, but the carved wagon roof remains.
Sturminster Newton civil parish covers about 4,550 acres (1,840 ha) at an altitude of 45 to 119 metres (148 to 390 ft), with the highest ground being in the southeast. The geology of the parish comprises Oxford clay in the northwest, Corallian limestone and sands in the northeast, centre and southwest, and Kimmeridge clay in the southeast.

Sturminster Newton Mill 4k Mavic Pro
Not flown since i got my first Mavic Pro due to a focus issue so it had to be replaced. After a month of waiting I am back in the air and learning the limits and capabilities of the Mavic Pro.
I've wanted to film around this area for a while but wanted the right weather to get the best from the Mavic so when a sunny but hazy day came along, I could wait no longer and i gave it a try.

This is my first attempt at a News Report type video. I could nave done it again but the camera battery went flat. Next time I will know to keep my head still and not be so shifty. It was nice to have a calm break in the wind and rain to be able to do the video.
