Location
East Orchard is a delightful, rural village set within Blackmore Vale in the north of the county, roughly midway between the hilltop town of Shaftesbury and the riverside town of Sturminster Newton. The village plays host to numerous countryside activities including an abundance of walking opportunities whilst the nearby towns provide essential amenities.

The local road network offers strong connections to the other main towns in the region including Gillingham, Salisbury, Sherborne, Warminster and Yeovil as well as to the South Coast. In addition the A303 links with the M3 that makes London accessible for the motorist.

There are railway stations at Gillingham (4.5 miles) and Tisbury (8 miles) with mainline services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country. Families are drawn to this area by the quality of life and excellent choice of state and independent schools including Port Regis, Clayesmore, Sandroyd and Bryanston amongst many others.
