Sherborne is a small rural parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, tucked into the rolling, honey‑coloured limestone hills that define the Cotswolds. The lane-lined landscape, stone cottages and dry‑stone walls give it a very traditional village feel and make it popular with walkers exploring the surrounding countryside.
Historically centred around farming and a country estate with parkland, the parish retains a quiet, community‑minded character with a parish church and village hall hosting local events. Economically it remains largely agricultural, with some residents commuting to nearby towns such as Cheltenham and Cirencester, and a modest boost from visitors drawn to the Cotswold scenery and heritage.
