About the areaWyke Champflower is a small and unspoilt Somerset hamlet, set amidst gently undulating countryside on the edge of the Brue Valley. The setting is quintessentially rural, characterised by farmland, quiet lanes and far-reaching views, yet remains highly accessible.On the outskirts of the nearby town of Castle Cary (10 minutes) is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A37 just a two minute drive away provides access south to the A303 for London and the Southwest and north to Bristol and Bath. Castle Cary 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.“The Newt in Somerset” just outside Castle Cary is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop.Bruton, located 2 miles south east, dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the ‘Hauser & Wirth’ Art & Exhibition Gallery, ‘The Roth Bar & Grill’, the Michelin-starred 'Osip', the ever-popular dining experience ‘At The Chapel’, and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.
