Marshwood Vale – Dorset’s Western Vale

Description

(Sylvia Creed) This book was written to show the changes that had taken place in the last one hundred years.

Whitchurch Canonicorum is the largest village in the vale, a low-lying, bowl-shaped valley drained by the river Char.  Other villages in the vale include Fishpond Bottom, Marshwood, Birdsmoorgate, Bettiscombe, Pilsdon, Bowood, Broadoak, and Ryal.  Agriculture obviously plays a major role in the vale, so is well covered in the book.

It also covers local activities and pastimes which include cider making, the original Char Valley Horse Show and the social scene.
