About The Area
Babcary is one of Somerset's charming and historic villages set in beautiful countryside between Somerton, Glastonbury and Castle Cary. Recorded in the Domesday Book, it's an attractive small village made up for the most part of period houses and cottages on the edge of the Sparkford Vale. The church is close by where one of the earliest games of 'fives' was recorded. Elsewhere in the village is the Red Lion, an excellent pub and restaurant dating from the 17th century, and the well used Village Hall and playing fields. Glastonbury, Wells, Castle Cary and Sherborne are all within a short drive as are Castle Cary and Yeovil Rail Stations with main lines to London. There are many golf courses in the area with National Hunt racing at Wincanton and Taunton and flat racing at Bath.

Schools
There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including Millfield, Bruton, Hazelgrove, Wells Cathedral, Downside and Sherborne. For more information on this area in general and individual schools visit our website www.roderickthomas.co.uk and locate this property by price order.

Accommodation
Footpaths, bridleways and countryside walks are within a few minutes walk of Dove Cottage, as is the pretty church, village hall and last but by no means least the Red Lion public house.
