Something about Dorset
The county of Dorset is named after its original pre-Roman inhabitants, the Durotriges, who lived around the town of Dorchester, most notably at Maiden Castle, the largest Iron Age fortress in Europe.
The county of Dorset traditionally included Poole but not Bournemouth and Christchurch, which were in Hampshire. It now contains Christchurch and the area around it, but both Poole and Bornemouth have been unitary authorities since 1997.
