Dramatic pictures show the extent of flooding after heavy rain which led to rivers bursting their banks.
Pictures taken with a drone by photographer Graham Hunt show flooded fields and roads in the Dorchester area after the Frome and Cerne burst their banks.
The water is seen to be very close to some homes at Charminster.
Sustained heavy rain that fell in Dorset overnight have caused widespread flooding across the county.
A number of flood warnings - meaning flooding is expected - are in place for Dorset including the the North Winterbourne and South Winterbourne Valley, the Piddle Valley, Sydling, Cerne Valley, Lower Frome from Dorchester to East Stoke, the Upper Frome at Maiden Newton and also down to Dorchester, the River Piddle from Alton Pancras to Wareham, the River Bride from Long Bredy to Burton Bradstock, and the Bere Stream at Bere Regis.
