Sherborne (1)

This is the first of two postings based on walks round Sherborne, a beautiful market town in Dorset.  It is located on the R. Yeo and the A30 (London to Penzance) forms the northern  boundary of the town centre.  It has an Abbey church and a well-known private school.  Old boys include Alan Turing of Enigma fame.

I've included a little map at the end.
