There are main-line stations at Axminster, Crewkerne (Waterloo) and Taunton (Paddington). Just a short distance away, is the lovely village of Combe St Nicholas which is set in lovely countryside not far from the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its miles and miles of herepaths popular for walking, cycling and horse-riding.<br/><br/>
