Longburton is a small village and civil parish in Dorset, England, sitting a couple of miles south of the market town of Sherborne. It retains a distinctly rural character, set among rolling farmland and quiet lanes that typify this part of the county.
Historically agricultural, the village has a close-knit community with a parish church and a number of traditional cottages and farm buildings; many residents now commute to nearby towns while others are attracted by walking and country pursuits. Its peaceful setting and proximity to Sherborne make it a quietly appealing spot for anyone interested in Dorset’s village life and history.
