His Majesty has a special association with Poundbury. Built on Duchy of Cornwall land just outside Dorchester with The King’s involvement, it was designed according to the principles of architecture and urban planning laid out in his book ‘A Vision of Britain’.

Poundbury is currently home to 4,600 people with a mix of private and affordable housing. It also provides employment for more than 2,500 people working in more than 250 shops, cafes, offices, and factories.

The apartment enjoys views over The Duke of Edinburgh Garden which forms part of Pavilion Green. The Duke of Edinburgh bronze bust is situated within the garden, one of the many fine green and public spaces which enhance the scheme. The King's vision of quality architecture set upon broad tree-lined avenues is beginning to mature and a sense of community has been established. The Duchy estate now passes to Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales.

Dorchester town centre is situated approximately 1½ miles away and offers a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities including a leisure centre, library and cinema. It is in the catchment area of a number of highly regarded schools such as the Prince of Wales First School, Dorchester Middle School and the Thomas Hardye School. There are numerous sports clubs around the town including cricket, rugby, football, tennis and golf clubs. The town also boasts mainline rail links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads. The A35 gives access to Poole and Bournemouth and the cross channel ferries at Poole. There is a regular bus service from Poundbury to Dorchester with connections to surrounding towns and villages.

The Jurassic Coastline is a few miles to the south with some sandy beaches and water sports along the coast of Weymouth/Portland.
