Dorset

Milton Abbas is a village and civil parish in Dorset, England, lying around 5 miles (8 kilometres) southwest of Blandford Forum. In the 2011 Census the civil parish had a population of 755.This planned community was built after the old Town was demolished in the 1770s, said to be "the largest such project in England at the time".Minterne House is the ancestral home of the Digby family and earlier the Churchill family.Motcombe is within the Motcombe and Ham electoral ward, which also covers Ham, a neighbourhood of Gillingham to the west.

The ward's population in the 2011 census was 3,216. The nearest railway station is at Gillingham, although the line itself cuts through the outskirts of the village.The present-day Mudeford Quay was constructed in the late 1940s.

Before this, the Haven (as it was then known) was surrounded by sloping beaches. The Run was much wider than it is now and the area was subject to such erosion that Christchurch Council bought the whole area in 1945.

Five years later it had been raised and reinforced with steel piles and concrete. Today the Quay, consisting of the Haven Inn public house, a number of former fishermen's cottages and a large car park, is still used by local fishing boats and is a base for water sports.

A Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) inshore lifeboat station is on the Quay.
