Sherborne's honey-coloured abbey and centuries-old boarding schools give this Dorset town a scholarly, unhurried air that visitors feel the moment they wander its lanes. Two castles bookend the story, one ruined by Cromwell's forces, the other still lived in, but daily life here revolves around simpler pleasures. Settle into one of the town's cafes for a slow morning, browse independent shops, then choose from the restaurants for dinner before retiring to one of the local hotels.
