There are beautiful countryside walks close by with some fabulous views. Nearby East Horrington has a popular village primary school and a café.

The picturesque city of Wells (2 miles) has a bustling High Street and provides a range of local amenities with four supermarkets (including Waitrose), a cinema, a leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors and some fabulous independent shops. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and the Bishop Palace, as well as a twice weekly produce market. There are excellent state schools in the vicinity, including Horrington School and Pre-school, The Blue School in Wells for Secondary, as well as independent schools including All Hallows Prep School, Downside, Millfield and Wells Cathedral School. Both Bath (19 miles) and Bristol (21 miles) are within commuting distance and there is a main line railway station with links to London in Castle Cary 13 miles away.
