Situation
Chilton Cantelo is a small village of predominantly period houses, tucked away from main roads. The surrounding area is unspoilt farmland for the most part and the village is well placed for easy access to the main towns in the area, including Sherborne, well known for its Abbey, excellent schools and traditional shops, and the larger commercial centre of Yeovil. Communications to this part of the South West are excellent, with the A303 dual carriageway leading most of the way to the M3 and London; this road continues West to Exeter, and the M5 is reached at Taunton. Sherborne has a mainline station on the Exeter to Waterloo line, whilst Castle Cary has an InterCity service from Penzance to Paddington line. The area is well known for the superb schools, including a co-educational boarding school in the village. Sherborne Prep, Hazelgrove, the Sherborne Boys and Girls schools, St Anthonys Leweston and Millfield are amongst those within easy driving distance.
