Beyond this it is an easy drive south down the valley to the county town of Dorchester which has an excellent range of facilities. Of particular note is the Conran-designed development at Brewery Square with its cinema, bars, restaurants and leading shops. There is a Waitrose and Tesco for everyday shopping, as well as the Dorset County Hospital.
Up the valley in the other direction is the Abbey town of Sherborne. Both towns have mainline railway stations with a fast regular service to London Waterloo.
From Buckland Newton it is an easy drive down onto the A35 which leads the west country east across to Poole, Bournemouth and Southampton, and via the M27 and M3 on up to London.
