Arne is a village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. The village is situated on the Arne Peninsula, which protrudes into Poole Harbour opposite the town of Poole, and lies three miles west of the town of Wareham. Besides the village and peninsular of Arne, the civil parish includes a significant area to the west of Arne and south and west of Wareham, including the villages of Ridge, Stoborough, Stoborough Green and Worgret, and has an area of 24.83 square kilometres. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 1,344 living in 612 dwellings. The parish forms part of the Purbeck local government district.[1][2][3] Arne is probably best known for the Arne RSPB reserve, which is adjacent to the village. It also lies within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
