Britain's only gallery devoted to Mountaineering and Landscape Photography with almost a thousand square feet of hanging area. There are always two or three themed exhibitions featuring the mountains, landscapes and peoples of all seven continents. These change every four months. The Gallery is open 7 days a week and admission is free of charge. The emphasis and ethos of the gallery is on viewing rather than selling but 10% of all sales goes directly to Third World Projects.

What a great find in Sherborne when I was in the area on holiday for a few days. The shop is in a beautiful old building near the top of Cheap Street (up from the market), and although it's small it has a very interesting range of yarns, notions and pattern books. It also carries a few other crafting items, non-fibre related. I purchased a couple of the locally hand dyed 4ply yarns and they were wrapped up in pretty mesh bags for their journey across the pond to the US. There's a nice table in the front window for crafting, classes or joining in with a Knit and Natter session too, presided over by a rather splendid hand made ram's head! All in all a great little shop with a very helpful and chatty owner.

Sherborne's Blue Badge guides, Cindy Chant, and Paul Birbeck take you for a gentle stroll around this historic market town. The walk commences at the Tourist Information Centre on Digby Road: taking in the outside of the Abbey, the School, the Yeatman Hospital and back along Cheap Street - with its diverse buildings built from handsome ochre coloured local Hamstone.
