About the area
Lying in beautiful unspoilt countryside, Castle Cary is characterised by a mix of period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known, and thoughtfully constructed modern properties. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.
