Sherborne Castle & Gardens is a wonderful day out. Visit our historic castle and walk through 400 years of history, explore 42 acres of “capability” Brown landscape gardens and take time to enjoy a delicious cream tea in our tea room. Why not browse in the gift shop & pick up a bottle of our very own Sherborne Castle Wine to take home to drink with your supper!

Be prepared to have time on your hands as there is so much to see here! There are also monthly auctions and a quaint little tearoom where you can get light snacks, lunches or tea.

Love this garden centre. On this occasion we just dropped in to see their wonderful Christmas display as it is always amazing! They are still putting the final touches to it, but the effort they make is superb. Definitely worth a visit, and if it's raining and you have small children, I'd recommend it! Unfortunately, we were unable to stop at the cafe on this visit - but we have enjoyed good food and service there in the past.
