The major towns, being Bristol, Bath, Taunton and Yeovil, are all within commuting distance. Castle Cary is the nearest train station with fast links to London.Wells, the smallest city in England (population about 11,000) has local markets twice a week, a busy shopping centre and many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. The Saxon village of Wedmore has existed for well over a thousand years and is also a delightful and extremely active centre. Again there are historic buildings including the medieval church next to an old coaching inn, interesting and varied shops including essentials such as the newsagent, butcher, chemist etc. together with others usually only found in larger county towns. The area has a wide range of clubs and societies both cultural and sporting and excellent state and independent schools including primary schools, Kings of Wessex, Wells Blue School, Wells Cathedral School and Millfield School.
