Sherborne Abbey is truly stunning—its architecture is remarkable and the atmosphere incredibly peaceful. Although I am Buddhist, I felt a deep sense of calm and serenity while sitting inside. I spent quite some time there meditating, and it was a beautiful experience. Staffs were very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit.

What a splendid site and wonderful interior with some of England’s earliest fan vaulting. The town is obviously very prosperous, which also means good coffee and food. We visited during a Sunday service, and were able to sit in the side and enjoy the choir and organ.

Stunning Church with so much history. The Abbey is free to to enter which is fairly unusual these days. when visiting for a look round you do need to check if there is a service on. There are no toilets on site, but the Abbey tea rooms just next door does have toilets and there are very good toilets in Digby Road opposite.

Sherborne Abbey is a breathtaking piece of English heritage. The architecture is absolutely stunning — the fan-vaulted ceilings alone are worth the visit. Whether you’re here to admire the history, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, or attend a service, it’s an incredibly moving place. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the sense of calm inside is truly special. A must-visit if you’re in Dorset. I am adding some pictures that i took too.

Magnificent Benedictine abbey built of beautiful golden stone, with a truly stunning interior. The incredible ceilings, towering arches and wall paintings come together to make for a dramatic spectacle inside, further enhanced by the beautiful stained glass windows. The abbey has had a storied history, which is detailed on a small leaflet available inside, and you can walk around at leisure to take in the all the details. The abbey is free to visit, donations are welcomed and there's a small gift shop inside. Sherborne itself is a very attractive market town with a pleasant park near the railway station, and some very picturesque streets; well worth a look around while you're visiting.
