Sherborne, medieval buildings mix with newer ones in this delightful town.

With its winding streets, the town was a cathedral city from 705AD to 1075. The church became a monastery until the Dissolution in the 16th century. Many of these buildings remain, some used by the Sherborne School, the Abbey Gatehouse is a museum.

The Abbey church still remains.

Sherborne has two castles, the older ruined one outside the town.
