West Street, Axbridge, Somerset. BS26 2AA

Location

West Street is located a few minutes walk from the heart of the charming 'Centuries Old' town of Axbridge. Being a market town allowed Axbridge to prosper via the wool trade during the Medieval period. Whilst there is much evidence of rebuilding and re-facing of buildings in Axbridge in the 18th and 19th centuries, the heart of Axbridge has changed little and retains a number of early listed buildings in the Square and the main streets. The Square still has the feel of a marketplace today. There are shops and places to eat and drink including popular tea shops and public houses. There is a local bus service providing access to the surrounding district, Wells and Weston Super Mare. A more comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities in the nearby town of Cheddar.
