Borsetshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borsetshire is a fictional county in the BBC Radio 4 series The Archers. Its county town is the equally fictional Borchester.
Other places in the county include Ambridge, where The Archers is mainly set, Lower Loxley, a nearby village and Felpersham, a cathedral city which appears to be larger than Borchester.
Fictional rivers in the county include the River Mercer, the River Perch and the River Am. There is also a fictional Felpersham Canal.
The county is supposedly set between Worcestershire and Warwickshire, but is also intended as a generic southern English rural county. Its name also echoes Barsetshire, and the names of the county and county town resemble Dorset and Dorchester.
