Travel Guide to holidays in... Sherborne, Dorset, England



Sherborne is a market town in Dorset, England. It is located on the River Yeo not far from Oborne, Folke, Milborne Wick, Yetminster, Yeovil, and Bishops Caundle and is one of over 130 towns and villages in Dorset in which Go2 has cottages or holidays lets available. The closest cities are Wells (population 10,406), Bristol (population 420,556), and Salisbury (which has a population of 43,355 according to the 2001 Census).

The major A30 route connecting London with the South West passes through Sherborne, making it very easy to access. Thw town also had good rail access with its own station. Sherborne is famous for its historic buildings including Sherborne Abbey, a manor house, two castles and the well known independent schools. An ochre coloured ham stone is used in the construction of many of the famous medieval and Georgian buildings in the old town, which gives the town's architecture its distinctive appearance. Follow the links to find holiday cottages and lets available in this area on Go2, or view the surrounding area on the map below.

With a wide and varied selection of cottages and holiday lets in Dorset Go2 offers you the ideal way to make the most of your break in this beautiful and largely unspoilt county, where there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site, with dramatic coves and stunning cliffs, topped by the South West Coast Path, which offers some wonderful views. Here you’ll find characterful seaside towns like Swanage and Lyme Regis as well as the wide sweep of Weymouth Beach. If you’re looking for somewhere more lively, then Bournemouth won’t disappoint. This is one of Britain’s most popular resorts and has attractions and entertainments in abundance. Nearby Poole is quieter, but still has much to offer. Try and make the trip to Brownsea Island, a fabulous nature reserve here. Inland on your holiday in Dorset you can enjoy the rolling hills that are so characteristic of the county and explore what has become known as “Thomas Hardy Country”.

The county town of Dorchester, with its High Street lined with 17th and 18th Century houses, is little changed from Hardy’s day, while the pretty town of Shaftesbury has been used as a location in countless films set in Olde England.
