Practice area
![[Map of Fovant and the surrounding area]](img/map)
Fovant is a small village on the A30, about 10 miles east of Shaftesbury and 12 miles west of
Salisbury. Our patients are mostly from Fovant and Dinton. In the past we have accepted patients
from much further afield but, as time has gone by, we have tried to limit our area so that we
can maintain as high a quality of service as possible for the patients that we have. We are
pleased to accept new patients but exercise some discretion if our numbers are high. We give
priority to patients living in Fovant, Sutton Mandeville and Dinton, and will not accept
anyone newly registering from outside the area shown on the map.
This is an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' that lies north of the Wiltshire South Downs
and our practice area straddles the course of the River Nadder, a chalk stream that runs
eastwards from Tisbury to join the Avon at Salisbury.
The Spring Orchard Surgery is found in Fovant High Street behind a long beech hedge about
150 yards off the A30. There is a small car park.
