Gaunts Common is a popular village with a First School, nestled in the Dorset countryside but close to the market town of Wimborne Minster, which offers a wide range of amenities. The nearby village of Furzehill has a busy post office/shop, The Stocks Inn pub/restaurant and Dumpton Preparatory School. The wider area is well served by state and independent schools including Queen Elizabeth’s, Corfe Hills, Canford, Castle Court, Clayesmore and Bryanston. The coastal towns of Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo, are within about 30 minutes’ drive, as is Bournemouth International Airport.
Directions:
From Wimborne, take the B3078 towards Cranborne and turn right towards Furzehill. Proceed past the Stocks Inn and turn left at Pig Oak, signposted to Gaunts Common. On entering the village, continue round the sharp, left hand bend, and, as you start to climb the hill, Hillview can be found on the left hand side.
