Discover Dorset's Best Kept Secret

Walk through over 400 years of history at the impressive Sherborne Castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594! Inside the Castle you'll discover magnificent state rooms, a Tudor kitchen, relics from the Civil War and archaeological treasures in the Castle's cellars. The collections of furniture, paintings and porcelain at Sherborne Castle are nationally important, and are a must-see for a day out in Dorset.

Discover acres of "Capability Brown" landscaped gardens surrounding a 50-acre lake. You can take a garden audio tour and explore features including a cascade, folly, fossil house and boat house pier. Sherborne Castle also has a fantastic programme of special events throughout the season, including family activities for the school holidays.
