About the area
Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark and the town grew up alongside the Abbey and become a manufacturing and trading centre. Today it’s a thriving market town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey.
There are excellent state & independent schools, Wells Blue School, St Dunstan's, Wells Cathedral School, Strode College, Millfield and the Bruton schools.
Meare is a village and civil parish 3 miles northwest of Glastonbury and has been a settled site for even longer than Glastonbury. The parish Church of St Mary, formerly in the keeping of Glastonbury Abbey dates from 1323 and is a Grade I listed building. The village also has a primary school, village meeting rooms, a number of societies and clubs and a good community spirit.
A farm shop selling essentials and local produce is located on the outskirts of the village between Meare and Westhay. Close by is the Shapwick Heath Nature Reserve with superb walks along numerous paths with trails and hides, a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The Heath has an abundance wildlife including Otters, Marsh Harriers, Bitterns, Great White and Cattle Egrets and the fabulous Starling murmerations in the spring and autumn, these are a magnificent and often twice daily sight around the village. There is easy access to the other towns of the area including Wells, Street and Wedmore whilst Bristol and Yeovil are well within commuting distance.
