Places to Visit in Dorset
Sherborne Castle
You can roam the grounds here and delight in the history of the castle, then enjoy tea and a choice of some really lovely home cooked food (including cakes!) by the lake. Tranquility abounds giving you and your loved one the time out from your usual routine to enjoy your surroundings and one another. While you're there why not visit their shop where you can purchase their own wine and Sherborne Castle Champagne?
We've tried it and it's great. For more information visit their website www.sherbornecastle.com
