LOCATION

Axbridge is a town of great medieval charm, its rich history is apparent the moment you arrive and look at its streets and buildings. Many date partly from medieval times and were previously the homes of prosperous merchants, built in close proximity to each other in a long narrow profile and many have been much modified since. Later centuries have added their own houses and style variations to create the very intriguing mixture seen today. Axbridge is well located for commuting to local business centres of Wells, Cheddar, Weston-super-Mare and Bristol via the nearby M5 and A38. There is a monthly farmers market in Axbridge. Local facilities include co-op store, chemist, post office and doctors surgery and Axbridge First School. Bristol international Airport is 15 minutes drive away.

DIRECTIONS

From the A38 at Cross take Cross Lane towards Axbridge. Turn right into West Street, then immediately right into Houlgate Way. Compton Lane is a short distance down on the right hand side. Follow the drive along to the end where you find a communal parking/turning area. Longsett is just to your right.
