This is a Grade I listed mansion. This English country house has medieval origins, although it has undergone reconstructions and extensions since the 16th century.

Once the former home of Sir Walter Raleigh, Sherborne "New" Castle is an ideal place to visit while on a hike around Sherborne. The mansion dates back to the 16th century, while Sherborne Old Castle dates back to the 12th century.

Nice to look at although you cannot go into the grounds. I think you can rent it through the Landmark Trust. Woodsford Castle is a rare survivor of one side of a medieval fortified manor house. Standing near the River Frome the thatched roof is reputed to be the largest in Dorset. There is a convenient to pull in to have look.

The hall is a Grade I listed 15th-century country house retaining much of its original Tudor character including a magnificent Great Hall with fine hammerbeam roof, and a recently restored Elizabethan Kitchen with a magnificent fireplace. It is surrounded by some 20 acres of gardens originally designed by Inigo Thomas in the 1890s, which are Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.  The house and gardens are privately owned but are open for public visits almost all of the year, and are a member of Historic Houses.

This is the surviving part of a 14th-century castle, a rambling wing of great interest and charm, deep in Hardy country just outside Dorchester. Its roof has one of the largest expanses of thatch in the county. Just one side of the quadrangular castle, built in 1370 and probably added to an existing group of buildings, remains today.

dating from the c14th and the thatch roof is the largest of an inhabited building in the country. Owned by the landmark trust.

Described by Pevsner 'The Late Elizabethan E-plan Manor House refined to a point of perfection". One of Dorset’s Elizabethan gems (1597) a rare E-plan house. Built around 1597 and surrounded by Capability Browns landscaped gardens. In the late 1950's Dorset County Council wanted to demolish it which led to a public outcry, perhaps not surprisingly.
