Milborne Port is a village in Somerset, United Kingdom, east of Sherborne, and in the South Somerset district.
This village is surrounded by green fields and beautiful countryside. Based around the river Gasgoine the village was a thriving glove and leather area.
There is one Primary school in the village which occupies the site of the former Infant school. The Junior school was closed and all pupils and staff moved to the Infant site. In 2006 a new three classroom extension was opened.
