Sherborne Located on the Dorset & Somerset border, Sherborne once occupied a strategic location and was the Saxon capital of Wessex.  It still has reminders of its importance in the shape of an abbey and two castles.  The novelist Thomas Hardy re-named in Sherton Abbas in his book Woodlanders.  It is a busy business and market centre for a wide area with a delightful shopping centre.
