Batch Farm

About the area

Hembridge is a very small, quiet hamlet between Wells, Glastonbury and Castle Cary.
Wells is the smallest city in England (population 10,000) lying in beautiful countryside between the Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills. There is a central market place (local markets twice a week), many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace, a small but busy local shopping centre and a broad range of societies and activities.
Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It's been a religious centre from the times of legends. A Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is now a thriving market town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey.

Castle Cary is another delightful and historic town which lies to the east and which has a main line train station to London.
There are facilities and amenities in the surrounding towns to suit most needs and excellent state and independent schools including local primary schools, Strode College, Millfield, Wells, Cathedral, Hazelgrove, All Hallows, Downside, Sherborne and the Bruton school.

The hamlet of Hembridge is on quiet country lane which runs from the A37 about a mile away to Glastonbury which is under 7 miles west. In the centre of the hamlet a track leads southwards to Batch Farm.
