Homefield Cottage - A Country Lover's Paradise

Locality

Homefield is an excellent base from which to discover the unspoilt countryside, with a plethora of outdoor activities and interesting places to explore.

Walkers are especially well catered for with a footpath running from the front door to the quaint medieval village of Axbridge, alternatively we can provide you with a selection of tried and tested maps. For the more seasoned walker there is of course always the West Mendip Way!

The Somerset Wetlands offer superb bird watching facilities for nature lovers, along with the nearby Willow Craft Centre. For the more adventurous there is always pot holing on the Mendips or caving in the gorge.

During Oct/Nov surrounding market towns host the famous West Country Carnivals.

Cheddar, world famous for its gorge, caves and cheese is only 10 minutes drive away. Farmers Markets are held in both Cheddar and Axbridge on alternate Saturdays or for a larger French style market there is always the delightful City of Wells (England’s smallest cathedral city).

Wookey Hole Caves and paper mill on the outskirts of Wells are well worth a visit - as is Clarks Village (factory outlet complex) in Street for the shopaholics! All three destinations are within a 30 min radius. For those non-shopacholic men there are a choice of three Golf Courses, one of which is only minutes from our front door.

For those willing to travel a little further a field the World Heritage City of Bath, Yeovilton Air Museum and The Bath and West Showground are all well within an hours drive.
