Bryanston is located approximately twenty-four miles south-west of Salisbury and fourteen miles north-west of Poole. The School and 400 acre estate are situated just outside the Georgian market town of Blandford, Dorset. The main gate to the school is most easily accessed as follows. From the roundabout at the Blandford-by-pass at the A350 Poole and Bournemouth junction (look out for Tescos!) follow signs to the town centre. After a mini roundabout there is a T junction (now a new mini-roundabout); the main gates leading to the long drive through the Bryanston estate are opposite this T junction.


Clayesmore is situated in the village of Iwerne Minster. The village lies astride the A350, mid-way between Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury. The school is cleary sign-posted on the right travelling from Shaftesbury and on the left travelling from Blandford.
The Astro, where most of the hockey is played, is not at the school. It is in the area of Beggar Bush Lane / Leigh Woods near the Clifton Suspension Bridge. It is close to the Gordano Services on the M5. Directions from Shaftesbury are detailed below; allow 1.5 to 2 hours.
