VENDORS COMMENTS

We have lived in Nunney as a family for over 12 years and it’s been the best place to raise our children. Horn Street is a community within a community where the neighbours are friendly and everyone looks out for each other. Nunney has lots of unique events including the famous annual Street Fayre and Easter Duck Race. The village is very peaceful and at night the only sounds are the river and owls hooting. There are many beautiful walks in the countryside from your doorstep. We’ve had lots of happy times walking the children across the fields to school and playing in the river on the way home. Nunney is a special village and truly a wonderful place to live.
