Location:
Gussage All Saints is a pretty and quiet village tucked away from main roads in a chalk valley within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about 10 minutes' drive from Cranborne and 15 minutes from Wimborne Minster. It has a lively community served by The Cockerel Inn, a parish church, a village hall, a Whatsapp group and emergency number, and a defibrillator. The historic town of Wimborne Minster offers a wide range of amenities, and the coastal town of Poole and the city of Salisbury, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo, are within about 30 minutes' drive. The conservation village of Cranborne, on the fringe of the Cranborne Chase, has shops, schools and pubs.
