Gillingham

Location
The North Dorset town of Gillingham offers the amenities of a major town, while retaining all the charm of rural Dorset. The town has a wide range of facilities, including Waitrose & Asda superstores, a doctor’s surgery, dental practice, pharmacies, local shops, boutiques and a well-connected railway station.

Gillingham School is a highly sought after mixed comprehensive and there are several independent schools nearby including Port Regis, Sandroyd and Clayesmore. The communication links are excellent: the A303 runs north of the town and a mainline railway station provides services to London Waterloo (2 hours) and the south west.
