About the area
Burrington is one of North Somerset's most sought-after villages, occupying a delightful position on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape. Centred around an attractive village square, it enjoys a strong sense of community and is home to the historic Holy Trinity Church and an exceptionally well-regarded primary school. The neighbouring hamlet of Rickford, nestled at the foot of Burrington Combe, is renowned for the historic Plume of Feathers public house, a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
Everyday amenities are well catered for by the nearby villages of Churchill and Wrington, both within a few miles, offering a good selection of shops, cafés, a supermarket, petrol station, modern medical practice and a range of other services. The area is particularly well served by both state and independent schools, including Burrington Primary School, Churchill Academy & Sixth Form, Sidcot School and the well-respected schools in Wells.
The surrounding countryside is amongst the finest in the region, with the spectacular Mendip Hills providing outstanding opportunities for walking, riding and cycling directly from the doorstep. Golf, sailing, fishing and a wide variety of other country pursuits are all readily available, while the cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells offer an excellent choice of shopping, restaurants, cultural attractions and entertainment.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, Burrington is exceptionally well connected. Bristol lies approximately 14 miles to the north, with the Georgian city of Bath around 20 miles away. Bristol Airport is approximately 5 miles distant, Junction 21 of the M5 is about 9 miles away, and mainline rail services are available from Yatton (approximately 7 miles) and Backwell (approximately 9.5 miles), with regular services to London Paddington from around 114 minutes.
