Charlton Down is a village in Dorset, South West England, situated a few miles north of the county town of Dorchester. Its most notable characteristic is its development on the site of the former Herrison Hospital, which originally served as the Dorset County Asylum. This has resulted in a community that blends the conversion of historic Victorian hospital buildings into residential properties with newer housing, set within the rural landscape of Dorset. The village thus offers a unique local context, combining a modern living environment with the architectural legacy of its past.
