About the area
This is a rural and very quiet area surrounded by rolling countryside. The collection of small villages and hamlets known locally as "The 3 C's", Clewer, Cocklake and Crickham provide a friendly and active community, along with the nearby villages and small towns of Wedmore, Axbridge, Cheddar and Winscombe. The 3 C's host a harvest home and treasure hunt and other annual events. They benefit from the very traditional inn, The Trotters and a vegetable farm shop, Nethercott Nurseries which sells amongst other things, home grown fruit, veg and flowers and eggs. Clewer has a very friendly community of approximately 17 houses. The school buses run from the centre of the hamlet, making it popular for young families.
*
The Saxon village of Wedmore is a delightful and extremely active centre and in many ways an archetype of an English village. There are historic buildings including the medieval church, an excellent general store, a post office, butchers, chemist, boutiques, eateries and a wide range of cultural and sporting clubs and societies. Swimming pools can be found at both Cheddar and in Wells, as well as other popular leisure pursuits including: sailing and wind surfing clubs at Cheddar Reservoir, The Badgworth Equestrian Centre, Wedmore 18-hole Golf Course, floodlit tennis courts, indoor and outdoor bowling, football and cricket clubs.
*
The Cathedral City of Wells is a half hour drive away and also provides a good range of businesses, recreational and shopping facilities. City shopping centres are available as Taunton, Bath and Bristol. Communications in the area are good with access to the M5 (J22 - 10 minutes) connecting to M4 (J16). A local train service from Highbridge links with intercity train services at Taunton and Bristol Temple Meads with London Paddington being approximately 1.5 hours away. Castle Cary, a mainline station, is about 23 miles whilst Bristol International Airport is 13 miles away.There are excellent local and independent schools including First Schools in Weare and Wedmore which are linked to Hugh Sexeys Middle School and Kings of Wessex Upper School, Millfield, Wells Cathedral School and Sidcot.
