Nearby Glastonbury is rich in history and character, with its famous Tor, Abbey ruins and vibrant town centre, while the large village of Street provides a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, including Clarks Village, supermarkets, cafés and a variety of practical day-to-day amenities.
The area is also well served by excellent state and independent schools in the area including Crispins, St Dunstans, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, and the Bruton schools.
