Bishop's Caundle is a charming Dorset village situated 6 miles south-east of Sherborne (the main road running through the village is the A3030, connecting to Sherborne), 12 miles north-west of Blandford Forum and 18 miles north of Dorchester.
The village benefits from convenient access to the A303 and A357, providing connectivity towards Yeovil, Salisbury and wider Southwest. Sherborne Railway Station, located nearby, provides regular direct services to London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids.
