Things To Do In Stalbridge For Groups
Stalbridge is a small town located in Dorset with a population of just over 2,500 people. It’s known for its peaceful setting and friendly atmosphere. The town is easily accessible by road, with the A357 being the main route connecting it to nearby towns like Sturminster Newton and Sherborne. If you’re travelling in a group, minibus hire is a great option for getting around the local area.
Public transport options are available too. The nearest railway station is in Sherborne, and from there, you can catch buses that link directly to Stalbridge. For those travelling by car, the town is about a 45-minute drive from the larger town of Dorchester, making it an easy destination to reach.
Explore Sherborne Castle & Gardens
One of the top places to visit near Stalbridge is Sherborne Castle & Gardens, a grand historic site with beautiful landscapes and over 400 years of history. It’s the kind of place where we could easily spend hours exploring the grounds, admiring the lake, and enjoying the seasonal blooms. Groups often head here for a relaxing day out, soaking in the rich heritage and lush gardens.
Discover Sturminster Newton Mill
If you’re looking for a bit of history and nature combined, Sturminster Newton Mill is a must-visit. Set along the River Stour, this working watermill offers fascinating insights into traditional milling methods.

Wander Around Fiddleford Manor
We were captivated by Fiddleford Manor’s rich medieval history. As we walked through the well-preserved interiors, we felt like we were stepping back in time. The peaceful surroundings made it a great place for a calm and reflective walk. Many guests from Gillingham come to explore the manor, and we definitely recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a bit of history in a quiet, beautiful setting.
Visit Sherborne Old Castle
Sherborne Old Castle is a fascinating ruin, and we enjoyed exploring its grounds. The contrast between the old castle and the nearby Sherborne Castle gave us a deeper appreciation of the area’s history. The views from the top were absolutely stunning, and it was easy to imagine how this place must have looked centuries ago. People from Shaftesbury often include this in their visits, and after being there ourselves, we can see why—it’s a gem for history lovers.
Relax at Pageant Gardens
Pageant Gardens was such a lovely spot for us to unwind after a day of exploring. The well-kept grounds and quiet atmosphere provided a much-needed break, and we found plenty of seating areas to just sit and enjoy the surroundings. It’s a great place for group picnics or simply relaxing with friends. Visitors from Blandford Forum frequently make their way here to enjoy a quiet afternoon amidst the beautiful greenery.
Explore Sturminster Newton Museum
For those curious about local history, Sturminster Newton Museum is a small but informative museum that tells the story of the town and its surroundings. It’s not as large as some of the other attractions, but it’s perfect for history buffs. Groups from Dorchester often stop by to discover the town’s rich heritage.
Spot Butterflies at Alners Gorse Butterfly Reserve
We had such a peaceful time wandering through Alners Gorse Butterfly Reserve. The variety of butterflies we spotted was incredible, and the reserve itself is such a quiet and tranquil place. It’s perfect for those of us who enjoy a gentle walk surrounded by nature. People from Wimborne Minster often make the trip here, and it’s easy to see why—it’s an ideal escape into nature.
Drive Up Zig Zag Hill
Driving up Zig Zag Hill was an adventure we won’t soon forget! The winding road kept us on our toes, and the views at the top were absolutely worth the drive. It’s a favourite spot for anyone who enjoys a scenic road trip. We’ve heard many from Beaminster love coming here for the experience, and after doing it ourselves, we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and scenic drive.

Whether you’re wandering through the historic grounds of Sherborne Castle or enjoying the views from Zig Zag Hill, there’s something for everyone.
