ABOUT THE AREA
The sought after village of Baltonsborough lies a few minutes’ drive from Glastonbury and has a public house, a church, an active village hall, a primary school and a fantastic village shop. The cities of Bath and Bristol are within 30 miles to the north, plus the county town of Taunton to the west and the A303 are also within easy reach. There is a mainline train station at Castle Cary (7.5 miles away) with regular and direct services to London Paddington. Other nearby attractions include the Bath & West Showground, The Newt (a country estate with magnificent woodland and gardens) and Hauser & Wirth in Bruton, a pioneering world-class art gallery. There is excellent schooling at all levels within the immediate area, including Millfield prep and senior schools.
The nearby villages of West Pennard, Pilton and Butleigh provide additional nurseries and primary schools, pubs, village stores, cafes and other amenities, One of the big attractions of the area are the friendly village communities with many varied societies. Glastonbury's past and present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It's been a religious centre throughout history and further back into the times of legends. There was a Celtic monastery here by 500 AD which, during the next 1000 years evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and today it's a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey
