Around Sherborne.
Sherborne is a golden hamstone town with a magnificent abbey, two castles and a cluster of well-known independent schools. It is prosperous and draws both visitors and families connected to the schools. Many properties are old, listed and valuable, and owners expect experienced, careful tradespeople. A Sherborne business should look polished and show relevant experience, and name the surrounding villages on the Dorset and Somerset border where much of the work lies.
Closest to Sherborne within Dorset: Stalbridge (6 miles) and Sturminster Newton (9 miles). Just over the council boundary, Yeovil (5 miles), Wincanton (9 miles) and Castle Cary (10 miles) are close by.
