The vibrant market towns of Castle Cary and Bruton are nearby.
Castle Cary is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, set in beautiful, unspoilt countryside. The town is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.
Fashionable Bruton is also characterised by its historic buildings, as well as being home to the world-renowned Hauser and Wirth Gallery.
Sherborne, Wells, Shaftesbury, Glastonbury, Street, Frome, Wincanton and Yeovil are all close by and Salisbury, Taunton, Bath and Bristol are within easy driving distance.
Two miles away “The Newt in Somerset” is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop. Residents of Galhampton benefit from local residents’ membership rates.
