Around and About

Sitting almost equidistant between the old market towns of Bruton, Castle Cary and Wincanton, the small village of Hadspen winds through a hidden valley lined with bountiful apple orchards. Local houses have elevations of burnt orange sandstone, which has been quarried at Hadspen for hundreds of years, with cobbled or mighty slabbed floors of Blue Lias. Closer than the towns are the pretty little settlements of Pitcombe, Yarlington, Cadbury and Shepton Montague. Set off for a walk in any direction and you will soon happen upon a traditional country pub, where you will receive a warm welcome and a cold cyder.
