20의 서쪽 낙타가지 명소 & 주요 장소

원래 색슨 대성당이었던 셔본 수도원은 수직 고딕 건축의 황금빛 석조 걸작입니다. 이곳의 명성은 부채꼴 아치형 천장으로, 아마도 영국에서 가장 오래되고 장관을 이루는 것으로, 섬세한 돌 레이스처럼 천장에 펼쳐져 있습니다. 이 수도원은 화재(1437년 다투는 수도원장과 주민들에 의해 발생), 수도원 해산, 그리고 시간의 시험을 견뎌냈습니다. 내부에는 서색슨 왕들의 무덤과 멋진 대서쪽 창문을 볼 수 있습니다. 이 수도원은 여전히 도싯의 살아있는 "등대"로, 꿀색의 햄스톤과 도시를 정의하는 고요하고 고풍스러운 위엄으로 빛나고 있습니다.

I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

The Church of St. Vincent, a petite structure with origins dating back to 1189-1280, displays charming Hamstone accents and is crowned by a clay tile roof. Its walls are constructed from lias rubble. Remarkably, the church doesn't possess a tower; rather, it boasts an uncommon 'lantern' bellcote, thought to have been appended in the late 15th or early 16th century.

For many, known as the ‘Cathedral of Dorset’ Founded by St. Aldhelm in AD 705, Sherborne Abbey has developed from a Saxon cathedral to one of England’s most beautiful parish churches. The abbey is a Grade I listed building. It has several distinct architectural styles throughout and well worth a visit.

Sherborne Abbey, is a Church of England church in Sherborne, Dorset. It has been a Saxon cathedral (705–1075), a Benedictine abbey church (998–1539), and since 1539, a parish church.

Hollow Lane is a great example of a Hollow Way, a sunken lane typical of this area of the country. These ancient lanes are cut into the landscape but we're not entirely sure why. It could be simply due to erosion by booth people and animals over 100s of years, exacerbated by water run off. They may also have been cut initially to make animal heading easier and to provide protection from the weather. What ever the cause they make for very atmospheric riding!
