About the Area
Butleigh is an historic village within easy reach of the surrounding towns and also Yeovil to the south and Bath and Bristol to the north. The A303 is just south and there is a main rail line station at Castle Cary. Glastonbury is the nearest town and its past and its 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 500AD 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 is now a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue. Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England. Its centre is the market place (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. Butleigh is linked historically and currently to both towns which provide most facilities and amenities.

*
There are excellent state schools including the primary school in the village, St. Dunstans, Wells Blue School and StrodeCollege. The independent sector includes Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows and the Bruton schools. The surrounding and nearby countryside includes rolling farmland, wooded hills and the Mendip Hills (an area of outstanding natural beauty), all providing a wonderful habitat for wildlife and all remarkably accessible and available. This friendly and popular village has a population of around a thousand, a thriving general stores shop and post office, an active church, a very well regarded nursery and primary school, an excellent pub (good food) and various societies and organisations including a local cricket club.
