About the area
Ashcott is located midway between Glastonbury and Bridgwater providing excellent connectivity to the M5 and Taunton.Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It's been a religious centre from the times of legends. A Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is now a thriving market town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. Castle Cary is another delightful and historic town which lies to the east, and which has a main line train station to London. There are amenities in the surrounding towns to suit most needs and excellent state and independent schools including Strode College, Millfield, Wells, Cathedral, Hazelgrove, All Hallows, Downside, Sherborne and the Bruton schools.
