Situation

The most outstanding attributes of Saxon Maybank are undoubtedly the unparalleled views, which include a deep swathe through the Dorset Gap from one end of the county to the other. The folded uplands part to reveal Golden Cap, a Jurassic promontory, standing proud above Lyme Bay. Within easy reach are an excellent variety of National Trust properties, the Jurassic Coast and village pubs.
Saxon Maybank is located close to the village of Bradford Abbas, which has a good number of amenities including a church, a primary school, a public house, a village shop and a sports centre, while both Sherborne and Yeovil provide between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with golf clubs at both Sherborne and Yeovil.
Transport links are good with a main line station at Sherbornelinking directly with London Waterloo while road links are alongthe A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.
