Verwood at a glance
Verwood sits on the Dorset–Hampshire border, about 12 miles north of Bournemouth and Poole. It has grown from a village into a busy small town, with a high street, supermarkets, The Hub arts and community centre and a strong community spirit.
Most homes are detached houses and bungalows, many built from the 1970s onwards on quiet, leafy estates, alongside newer developments. It’s popular with families looking for more space and green surroundings, and with people downsizing from Bournemouth and Poole.
