Ashmore is a small village in the North Dorset district of Dorset, England; situated 20 miles (32 km) south-west of Salisbury. The local travel links are located 7 miles (11 km) from the village to Tisbury railway station and 18 miles (29 km) to Bournemouth International Airport. The main road running through the village is North Road. The village has a population of 162 according to the 2001 Census.
It is situated on Cranborne Chase five miles (8 km) south east of Shaftesbury. The village consists of a church and 83 old stone cottages and farms, many with thatched roofs. The village is situated on chalk rock which is permeable and therefore dry, and the village is built around a clay-lined dew pond which provided water before pipes were installed. This pond or "mere" is what gave the village its original name of "Ashmere". At over 700 feet (210 m) above sea level the village is the highest in Dorset.
The village is situated on the Roman road from Bath to Badbury Rings, and the pond may have been significant in Roman times. It is probable that there was a settlement at Ashmore in Roman times, though the village name is Saxon and there is little Roman archaeology in the village.

Plot: It's an experiment in human behavior. It's an exploration of the most natural of animal impulses. It's something new under the moon. And it bites. When security dispatcher Aaron Scates is blinded in an explosion, he's put in the care of Dr. Andrea Hewlitt, famous in her field for spearheading extraordinary-though controversial-medical breakthroughs. Her newest is cross-species organ transplants, and Aaron is her first human subject. When a severely wounded wolf is brought to Dr. Hewlitt's office by museum curator Lydia Armstrong, Dr. Hewlitt leaps on the opportunity and successfully transplants the wolf's eyes to Aaron-despite Lydia's objections. Aaron, however, is thrilled. Not only can he see again, he can see in the dark. He also has an unusually acute sense of hearing, and tears into a raw steak like never before. Unfortunately, he also tends growl, and to target people as prey. Lydia knows why. Knowing Aaron is in danger-to himself and to others -Lydia confesses that she too is a cross-breed but has learned to channel her feral instincts into a source of strength, not violence, with the help of her shaman friend, Claude Robertson. After Lydia and Aaron explore their other animal instincts in the privacy of Lydia's lair, she takes him to Claude's for a rite-of-passage to integrate the young man's spirit with that of a wolf. But Dr. Hewitt's colleagues, who have seen Aaron's wilder side, are determined to hunt the beast down and destroy him. What they don't know is that Aaron has more on his side than a shaman and an empathetic girlfriend. He's made some new friends at the zoo. They travel in packs. And they don't need a full moon to commune. Like Wolfen, The Howling, and An American Werewolf in London before it, Hybrid delivers a snarlingly sharp twist on the werewolf genre for an all new generation of animal lovers.

Plot: The efforts of test pilot John Mitchell to make a better life for his wife Mary and their two children seem doomed to failure and he blames himself. At the Conway Aero-Manufacturing Company of Wolverhampton, Mitchell is to take the company's new rocket-propulsion transport plane up for tests, fully loaded and carrying two important passengers - Ministry official Crabtree and buyer's representative Ashmore. Mitchell learns from his boss, Reg Conway, that if Ashmore does not recommend the plane, the company will be out of business and Mitchell out of a job, since the plane is not even insured as the firm's entire capital is tied up in the plane. Aloft, an engine catches fire and the passengers and other crew bail out, but Mitchell refuses to obey orders to jettison the plane in the Irish Sea.

Always staying just ahead
Weather's such a tease
And summer's here to stay instead
But I can't believe that you have brought me here
You brought me here
And oh, suddenly I'm going home
Oh, it's all that I've been waiting for, oh, all I've been waiting for
These walls have closed me in
To places I'm not meant to be
Now that I have found
A place where I am always free
But I still can't believe that you have brought me here
You brought me here
And oh, suddenly I'm going home
Oh, it's all that I've been waiting for, oh, all I've been waiting for
Gave it time
Time you knew I had
Took the time
To leave the past behind
And oh, suddenly I'm going home
