What would you like to know about Dorset? Dorset, a ceremonial county in South West England, is known for its charming towns. From seaside spots to countryside beauties, the county also known as Dorsetshire shares its beauty with its neighbours such as Somerset on its northwest, Wiltshire on its north and northeast, and Hampshire to the east. It's no wonder that people flock to the entire area to visit its attractive landmarks or settle down there. However, a survey run by the ILiveHere website has revealed certain towns slated by their residents as not so good to live in. In a satirical monologue, they made known their harshest opinions to prove about these towns. This video highlights their thoughts about the 7 worst places to live in Dorset.
7. Hamworthy
Let’s begin with Hamworthy, a village, parish, peninsula, and suburb of Poole. It’s situated on a peninsula of about 3 square kilometres that is bordered by Upton another town in Dorset to the north and Poole Harbour to the south. Lytchett Bay and Holes Bay are to the west and east respectively while Poole Bridge which is the southern terminus of the A350 road connects the suburb Hamworthy with the town centre. This town is also the location of the ferry passenger terminal and cargo operations of the Port of Poole.
Now, what do you make of this description of Hamworthy? The passengers and others at its bays and terminals have complained of being bugged by legions of homeless and unruly beggars who demand alms at all costs. It has a lot of homeless single parents as the town seems to make it tough for couples to live together in peace.
6. Bournemouth
Next is Bournemouth, a coastal resort town on the south coast. With an urban subdivision population of 183,491 at the 2011 census, it’s the largest town in the county. When mentioning Dorset to many people, they first think about Bournemouth. With its busy atmosphere, Bournemouth feels more worthy of being a city home to the iconic Bournemouth Pier and its stunning beach. The beach sees flocks of visitors and locals descend on the area, especially in the summer.
This is another town that residents consider so bad. Many of them don’t feel good about the weather while tourism is a nuisance for others who complain about tourists littering the beach.
5. Shaftesbury
Shaftesbury also is a town and civil parish on the A30 road, 32 kilometres west of Salisbury and 31 kilometres southeast of Longleat. It’s near the border with Wiltshire. Shaftesbury is the only significant hilltop settlement in Dorset as it’s about 215 metres above sea level on a greensand hill situated on the edge of Cranborne Chase.
We can’t ignore the town’s iconic Gold Hill made famous by the Hovis TV advertisement, besides many other delights. Among them are highly-rated eateries and the best hotels in the county. In fact, in the esteemed Muddy Stiletto awards, Shaftesbury was ranked among the top 10 places to live in thanks to its charming cottages and interesting market town. We can also mention its array of festivals throughout the year.
It has nevertheless been described harshly by residents as a great place to live in only if you're old and rich. Its problems with public transport make life so difficult. The reduced mobility makes it a sleepy place only suitable for older, retired adults. Even if you have a car, car parking is expensive and in short supply.
4. Weymouth
This is another unfortunate town in Dorset. Weymouth is a seaside town and civil parish. Situated on a sheltered bay, it’s at the mouth of the River Wey, 11 kilometres south of the county town of Dorchester. Weymouth with its 2021 population of 53,427 is the third-largest settlement in Dorset, following Bournemouth and Poole also on this list of the 7 worst towns to live in Dorset. The population of the greater Weymouth urban area is 72,802.
In our own opinion, there’s much to like about Weymouth. We can start with its stunning beach and coastline which sees great crowds of people visit it every year.
