  Blackmore Vale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blackmore Vale (less commonly spelt Blackmoor) is a vale, or wide valley, in North Dorset, and to a lesser extent South Somerset and southwest Wiltshire in southern England.
The vale is delimited by the Dorset Downs, a chalk ridge to the south; Cranborne Chase, chalk hills to the east; and the watershed between the Stour and Yeo valleys to the northwest (which generally follows close to the borders between North Dorset, South Somerset and West Dorset).
Land use in the vale is predominantly dairy farming, with many small farms dotted across the vale.

Belchalwell - the Geology and Landscape of the Blackmore Vale
At the time when the ancient British tribes came onto the scene, the Vale of Blackmore was too swampy and too thickly wooded for settlement except perhaps on the highest ground, and they built their settlements along the chalk escarpment, better drained and offering a safe position.
During the iron age, some progress was made in taming the lowlands of the Blackmoor Vale, as evidenced by Banbury Hill Fort, an iron age fort to the the north of the parish, built on a low hill of well drained plateau gravel.

 Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Save the Vale Association, a group of volunteers based in the Blackmore Vale, in the South West of England, whose primary objective is the preservation and conservation of the region’s natural beauty and environment.
Save the Vale has also supported plans by Green Spirit Fuels to develop its bioethanol plant on the airfield, using locally grown wheat to produce this environmentally friendly fuel and, as a by-product, non GM cattle feed for local farmers.
Save the Vale opposed this development on the grounds that it would result in a significant increase in heavy vehicle movement on the narrow lanes in the area.

The evidence against a connection is: (a) Blackmore Lane existed in 1876, so it seems unlikely a street would have been named for such recent residents, and (b) you would expect this information to be part of family lore if it were true.
In all likelihood the Blackmores were in the north of Dorset well before 1816, but this is where we will begin.
Thomas Blackmore appears to have died sometime before 1871, as he cannot be found on any census on or after this time.

 The Blackmore Vale - Rural Dorset
The gentle rolling clay pastures of the Blackmore Vale, vividly depicted by Thomas Hardy, have traditionally been dairying country, hence the `patchwork quilt` fields, hedgerows and tucked-away villages.
Bordered by the arc of high chalk hills which include Bulbarrow, Hambledon and Melbury Hills, this is quintessential rural England.
The Vale is the fertile floodplain of the River Stour, which gives its name to many villages, some not even so close to the river: East Stour, Stour Row, Stour Provost and Milton on Stour among them.
