Not to be confused with Shapwick in Somerset, this Shapwick is a sweet little village on the banks of the River Stour. A short walk from Badbury Rings hillfort, there's plenty of see and do in the immediate area.

You can hike to the Rings, walk east to the stunning Kingston Lacy estate or wander along the riverbanks to see what wildlife you can spot. Or, all three!

Shapwick is a village and civil parish in east Dorset, England, situated on the River Stour five miles south-east of Blandford Forum and eight miles north of Poole. The village has a population of around 200 people, 9 dogs, 12 cats and 3 sheep, and an angry squirrel named Dennis.

In Roman times there was a Roman Fort at Crab Farm, between Shapwick and Badbury Rings. Just to the west of the fort was a small Romano-British town, believed to be that listed in the Antonine Itinerary as Vindocladia.
