Location:
Gaunts Common is a popular village with a First School, nestled in the Dorset countryside but close to the market town of Wimborne Minster, which offers a wide range of amenities. The nearby village of Furzehill has a busy post office/shop, The Stocks Inn pub/restaurant and Dumpton Preparatory School. The wider area is well served by state and independent schools including Queen Elizabeth’s, Corfe Hills, Canford, Castle Court, Clayesmore and Bryanston. The coastal towns of Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo, are within about 30 minutes’ drive.

Directions:
From Wimborne, take the B3078 towards Cranborne, and turn right into Furzehill. Proceed through the village, passing The Stocks Inn on the left, and turn left at Pig Oak, signposted to Gaunts Common. Proceed around the sharp left hand bend into the village, continue to the top of the hill, and Orchard End can be found on the left hand side (almost opposite the right hand turning to Rooks Hill Lane).
