OLD ORCHARD NORTH BARROW, YEOVIL, BA22 7LZ
About the area
North Barrow is a small village rather tucked away in rolling unspoilt countryside, yet having excellent access to many towns and locations. Castle Cary, the nearest 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 a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which 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 in easy driving distance. On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington. Templecombe station is 11 miles south with its direct line to Waterloo.
