Description
Local Information
The property is about 1.8 miles south of the road from Glastonbury to Pilton. The nearby villages of West Pennard, Pilton, Butleigh and Baltonsborough provide nursery and primary schools, pubs, village stores, cafes and other amenities,
One of the big attractions of the area are the friendly village communities with many varied societies.
Glastonbury’s past and present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre throughout history and further back into the times of legends. There was a Celtic monastery here by 500 AD which, during the next 1000 years evolved into one of England’s wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and today it’s a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury – designated a conservation area – clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey.
Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the Market Place (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. Immediately to the south (2 miles) of Glastonbury is the more recent town of Street and these centres provide a huge range of facilities and amenities. There are 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.
