Whether you're discovering the majesty of the abbey, the castles or the local architecture, you're sure to be charmed by the character of the famous ochre-coloured hamstone.
And you'll find plenty of activities to keep you occupied, from weekly markets to sporting events, arts lectures and wine tastings. Or maybe a walk in the beautiful rolling countryside - it's all here on your doorstep.

Sherborne has good public transport systems that connect to several towns in the surrounding area. The nearby train station has a direct line to London which takes around 2 hours, and it's roughly an hour's journey to get to Exeter. There are also plenty of local bus routes visiting Dorchester, Sturminster Newton, Yeovil, and Wincanton.
