Enjoying a quiet and secluded setting with views towards Hambledon Hill and Preston Hill, Talbot Courtyard is positioned in the centre of this pretty popular village which lies midway between Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum. Iwerne Minster has a good range of everyday facilities including a village post office and stores, pub, church and café (The Writes Block at Clayesmore School). For a wider range of facilities there is the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury to the north, and the Georgian town of Blandford Forum to the south. Both have a wide range of shops, cafes, doctors and dental surgeries, libraries, an arts centre, and secondary schools. Bournemouth, Salisbury and Bath are within easy striking distance. There are mainline railway stations in both Tisbury and Gillingham (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 12 miles to the north giving access to the south- west and London, via the M3.
