Borsetshire is a fictional county in the BBC Radio 4 series The Archers.
Its name also echoes Anthony Trollope's fictional Barsetshire[1] and the real Dorsetshire.
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.
[3] Felpersham is known to be the seat of a Church of England diocese, a university,[4] and department stores.
[5] Borsetshire Blue is the name of a fictional cheese made by Helen Archer in the programme.
