Situation

The popular village of West Pennard is surrounded by beautiful countryside near Glastonbury and Wells. It is an active village with an excellent primary school, a village hall and popular pub (the Lion).Nearby Glastonbury is a town that is steeped in history going back to the legends of King Arthur. There was a Celtic monastery here in 500AD, which over the next 1000 years evolved into one of England’s wealthiest and influential Abbeys. The magnificent Glastonbury Abbey ruins and Glastonbury famous Tor attract many tourists, ensuring that it remains a thriving town well served by markets and a huge range of festivities. The town is unusual in that it has managed to shun many of the main chain stores whilst still providing all the necessary shops, restaurants, cafes, doctors, pharmacies, dentists, a wealth of clubs and sporting facilities and supermarkets.



Just 8 miles from West Pennard is Wells, which is the smallest city in England. Its centre is the Market Place (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. Local supermarkets include Waitrose and Tesco. The larger towns of Bath, Bristol and Yeovil are all within easy commuting distance. The trendy towns of Bruton and Frome are both within a half hour drive too. The train station at Castle Cary is less than 10 miles away and has direct links to London.



Schools

There are excellent local schools including West Pennard’s own Primary School and the highly regarded Strode College Sixth Form College. Independent schools include Millfield (prep school is only 5 minutes away), Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows and the Bruton schools.
