Horton is a village in Dorset, England, situated on the boundary between the chalk downland of Cranborne Chase and the Dorset Heaths, and ten miles north. The setting places it within a landscape of gentle hills and open heath, characteristic of the Dorset countryside. The village falls within the BH21 postal district, indicating its proximity to the nearby town of Wimborne. While the historical note about the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 highlights the area's administrative heritage, the primary appeal lies in its rural character and the natural scenery that surrounds the settlement. Residents can expect a quiet village atmosphere with access to the scenic chalk downlands and heathlands that define the region.
