Around Goathill Farm

City/town information

Sherborne's a lovely little town, which has been called the prettiest town in Dorset. Nestled just ten minutes away from Goathill farm (or an hour and a half walk across the fields), it has everything you could want - from gorgeous independant shops, restuarants and cafes, two castles, and a fabulous Abbey. Some of our favourites include D'urbeville (an antique/curiosity shop and cafe, which morphs into a cocktail bar on Friday and Saturday Evenings), The Cross Keys (Great pub food), and The Plume of Feathers (italian style tapas). For amazing coffee, head to Beanshot, or pop through to the hidden garden at the back of The Three Wishes.
