About the area Castle Cary is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, set in beautiful, unspoilt countryside.
The town is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey-coloured stone for which the area is well known.
It remains a delightful small market town with several traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area, and a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.
These shops cater for most everyday needs whilst Shaftesbury, Glastonbury, Street, Wells, Frome, Wincanton, Sherborne and Yeovil are all close by and Salisbury, Taunton, Bath and Bristol are within easy driving distance.
“The Newt in Somerset”, just outside Castle Cary, is home to beautiful countryside walks set on the grounds of a Georgian country estate.
The estate has a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a house & garden shop.
Castle Cary itself now also boasts The Rio D'oro Italian and The Creamery, two well-regarded recent additions to its growing food scene.
On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A303 Road link is a few miles south.
There are excellent state schools in the area - Ansford Academy boasts excellent exam grades, and independent schools include the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove and Port Regis.
