The History of

Dorset’s County Town

Dorchester’s rich history dates back to prehistoric times, with early settlements around Maiden Castle bearing a formidable Iron Age hill fort that once stood as one of the most powerful in pre-Roman Britain. The town’s Roman heritage is still evident today, with remnants of the ancient Roman wall encircling the town. While you’re here, we recommend delving into Dorchester’s fascinating past at the County Museum, where Roman artefacts and archaeological treasures found nearby await discovery.
