thumb|'The Stag's Head' a thatched house in Ashmore Ashmore is a village and civil parish in Dorset, England, southwest of Salisbury. In the 2021 census the parish had a population of 176. It has a church and several stone cottages and farms, many with thatched roofs.
The village is the highest in the county. It is centred on a circular pond, or "mere", which gave the village its original name of "Ash-mere". There are grounds for believing Ashmore to be a Romano-British village which has survived without a break to the present day.
