4 Hilltop Barns lies on the fringe of Iwerne Minster which is midway between Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum. Comprising mainly period houses and cottages, Iwerne Minster has a good range of everyday facilities including a village post office and stores, a pub and church. For a wider range of facilities there is the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury to the north, and the Georgian town of Blandford Forum to the south. Both have a wide range of shops, cafes, doctors and dental surgeries, libraries, an arts centre with cinema, and primary and secondary schools. The regional centres of Bournemouth, Poole, Bristol and Bath are within easy striking distance. There are mainline railway stations in both Tisbury and Gillingham (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 15 miles to the north giving access to the south- west and London, via the M3.
