Ditcheat is a very popular and ancient village (mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Glastonbury Abbey) 10 miles south of Wells and 3 miles north of Castle Cary with its main line rail service to London. These and the other nearby towns of Glastonbury, Shepton and Street all offer ample facilities. The village has a farm shop providing all the essentials including newspaper; a primary school, a fine Grade I Listed church, and a particularly popular pub and restaurant. The village is nowadays best known as the home of Paul Nicholls' Racing Stables (trainer of Kauto Star and Denman). There are good state and independent schools in the area including Wells Cathedral, Millfield, Sherborne, Hazelgrove and the Bruton schools.
