Sherborne is an ancient market town in the north-west of Dorset, famous for its historic buildings including its Abbey Church, the renowned Sherborne Boys’ School and two castles.
The narrow streets are lined with an eclectic mix of grey stone buildings and early timber-framed, gable-ended houses. Sherborne offers a fascinating variety of independent shops and chains plus a choice mix of coffee shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants.
