Oborne Dorset Map

About Oborne

Oborne breathes a quiet dignity under the wide Dorset sky. It lies 2.5 km north-east of Sherborne (from Sherborne: bearing 42°T, OS grid ST 654 184), and is situated south-south-east of Poyntington village. The land around Oborne rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible swell, the chalky soil giving rise to pastures that seem to hold the very light of summer within their green depths. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and elder, trace the boundaries of fields, their branches a silent testament to centuries of careful husbandry. The church spire, a slender finger pointing towards the heavens, is a constant, quiet presence, its stone weathered to the soft grey of a dove's wing, a guardian over the modest cluster of homes. The air here often carries the faint, sweet scent of ripening apples from nearby orchards, a subtle perfume that speaks of the land's enduring bounty.
