Bath is only 45 to 50 minutes away - one of, if not, the most interesting historic Cities in the UK, with the Roman Baths, Pump Room, The Abbey. And many museums, eating places and other attractions, nearly all within walking distance once arrived in the city. A trip through the beautiful Cheddar Gorge en route is well worth taking.

Bristol, 40 minutes away. See the SS Great Britain, Clifton Suspension Bridge. Plenty of entertainment - Colston Hall, St. George's Bristol - The Best Chamber Acoustics in Britain, the Hippodrome Theatre and Bristol Old Vic, amongst many venues.

There are many historic buildings in the area including National Trust properties.

Footpaths and droves are all around us as well as an extensive network of footpaths throughout the Mendip Hills, just four miles away. Good walking country.

You are welcome to borrow the beautiful little booklet ‘Walks Around Wedmore’ showing six walks, with maps, varying from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. They link up nicely with pubs & restaurants in Wedmore and Blackford and from one to another if you wish to make a day of it. Two of the walks are easily reached with just a few minutes walking on our country lanes.

Just 0.75 miles away is Ashton Windmill, Somerset’s only remaining windmill that is equipped with all it’s working machinery.

It is open from Easter Sunday until the end of September every Sunday, Wednesday and bank holiday Mondays from 2.30pm until 4.30pm. Admission is free.

The whole area is steeped in history and beauty, which would take up too much space to talk about it all.

The Isle of Wedmore Golf Course and Club House is within easy walking distance, being only half a mile away. This course has built up an excellent reputation over the last few years and non members are very welcome. Tel: 01934 713649
