An Ancient Legacy
Sherborne received high praise from Lisa Johnson in The Times this week.
“Everywhere I went, the locals were quick to extol Sherborne’s virtues: how easy it is to get around, how friendly.”
“Swirling up around a staircase of inlaid oak, the mural is now the centrepiece of The Sherborne, a venue that is a “new destination for the arts”, free to all, and another feather in the cap of the vibrant and hospitable market town that was recently voted the best place to live in the southwest by The Sunday Times.
Sherborne itself, a compact town surrounded by rolling countryside, has a different vibe too. It’s not cool like Bruton, which is smaller, or boho like Frome, which is bigger, but it does have incredible history, beautiful heritage buildings in golden hamstone, a buzzing high street, a fizzing antiques scene and an amazing community oozing positive energy and inclusiveness. Whether for a weekend, a stopover or a town-and-country break, it’s a great option.”
