The rural character of Cold Harbour is defined by its gently undulating countryside, typical of the Blackmore Vale. It lies 0.6 km west-north-west of Gillingham (from Gillingham: bearing 287°T, OS grid ST 802 266). This small settlement's proximity to Gillingham means residents benefit from the amenities of the larger market town while enjoying a more tranquil setting. The landscape around Cold Harbour is primarily agricultural, with fields of pasture and arable land stretching towards the horizon. Historically, like much of this part of Dorset, Cold Harbour would have been shaped by farming practices and the lives of those who worked the land. The local economy remains largely tied to agriculture and related rural industries.
