OUTSIDE
The Cloisters is approached through electrically operated gates giving access to a communal paved courtyard and allocated parking space.

LOCATION
The Cloisters is in the heart of the Conservation Area, about 100 yards from Cheap Street, Sherborne’s main shopping thoroughfare. Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is arguably the most attractive town in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events occur throughout the year and there is a superb range of traditional shops and boutiques. The two castles—one of which was home to Sir Walter Raleigh— reflect the historic nature of the town, the centre of which is designated a Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to preserve its special character.
West Dorset is well known for its unspoilt landscape and there are many pretty villages and countryside walks nearby. The Jurassic Coast is a mere twenty miles away at Weymouth. This stretch of coastline, from Portland to Lyme Regis, with its spectacular cliffs, has recently been designated a World Heritage Site.
Communications to this part of the country are excellent. From Sherborne there is a regular train service to Waterloo in about 2 hours 25 minutes; the station is within walking distance. The A303 (linking with the M3) is a dual carriageway almost the whole way to the M3, thus putting London within a reasonable drive.
SPORTING AND RECREATION
The area is well known for its beauty and there is a network of bridleways and footpaths which cross the countryside, making it ideal for walking, bicycling, and riding. Water sports at Sutton Bingham Reservoir (near Yeovil) or on the south coast. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury, Bath, or Exeter. Golf at various courses including Yeovil, Sherborne, and Dorchester.
EDUCATION
The area is noted for its independent schools, with Leweston, Sherborne Boys’ and Girls’ Schools, Sherborne Prep, Perrott Hill, Hazelgrove and Millfield all within easy reach. The Gryphon secondary school is highly rated and is close by.
