Edmondsham is a village in Dorset, England. It is 2 miles (3 km) north west of Verwood and 10 miles (16 km) north of Bournemouth, near the source of a small stream which flows into the River Crane, Dorset; both are Sites of Special Scientific Interest.[citation needed] In the 2001 census it had a population of 200.[citation needed]

A rare shiny-leafed form of wych elm similar to 'Nitida' was found in the village in the early 20th century, a leaf specimen prepared for the Kew Herbarium by Augustin Ley in 1910.[1]

Edmondsham House was built in 1589 by builders William Arnold and family,[citation needed] and in 1905 was described by Sir Frederick Treves as "grey with age" and hence "like a mist in the wood".[2] The house and gardens are open to the public.[citation needed]
