Lovely day out as we visit our historic county town in the heart of 'Hardy's country and boasting elegant 18th century houses, interesting museums, plenty of places to eat and some good shopping.  On a Wednesday, the town has probably the largest market in the county. Dating back to 1860, the market has played an integral role within Dorset’s county town for generations. Dorchester Market sees over 200 traders attend regularly selling everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, quality meats, clothes, plants and hot food. With a large indoor market and an outside undercover section you will find a wide range of products come rain or shine. Located opposite the stylish new Brewery Square development, only a short walk from the town centre which has a number of eateries for coffees and lunch.

Afterwards we head to one of the county's gems - the beautiful, historic town of Sherborne. With an abundance of medieval buildings, superb Abbey, world famous Schools and picturesque Almshouse, the town has a lovely intimate atmosphere and is a delight to explore with an array of independent shops selling a variety of goods, including fashion boutiques and Art & Antique Dealers. Good value local day out.
