Description
Over to the West Country of England, and we arrive in this Somerset Market Town called Shepbourne, on the eastern edge of the Mendip Hills, north of Wells, South of Radstock and West of Shepton Mallet. And not far from where Glastonbury is! This Somerset Market Town with a population of 7600 people has quite a charm to offer and is often used as a base for those exploring the nearby Mendip Hills, and visiting the castle on the outside of town. Other towns nearby are of course Shepton Mallet, the city of Wells, Glastonbury, and further afield Bath, Bristol, Weston Super Mare and Yeovil.

Some features of this West Country Town:
Shepbourne Castle - It is in the Skybox but it is one of many Norman castles built in Somerset and it's ruins stand watch over the town as it has done for hundreds of years.
Parish Church of St John the Baptist - Based of many Somerset Parish Churches, that are renowned for their beautiful architecture and their towers (you have to take a look at St Mary Magdalene at Taunton to know), St John's at Spepbourne is no exception with it's beautiful tower that houses a 23cwt Gillett and Johnston Ring of 8 bells cast in 1936 to replace the older Rudhall 8 (and you can go up into the belfry as well, press the buttons to hear the bells ring out), and the church also has some of the best examples of Somerset Tracery in the area. Also inside is the 3 manual Willis pipe organ that is reputed to be very good and kept very well.
Shepbourne Town Hall - Next to the Church includes the Town Hall, with one big hamm for events and concerts, the excellent acoustics also make it a good concert venue, as well as being used for fairs and sales.
Shepbourne Library - Books! Books! Books! Get them here, but hang on, do you happen to be registered with Somerset's libraries? There will be plenty of books on Somerset Cider and walking in the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Cheese, so you're not short!!
The Black Bull - One of the many pubs in the town, this is just one of them, The Black Bull is reputed to be the best in the town, and also includes a living area upstairs, so you can now live in a pub!!
The United Reformed Church - Just across the road from The Black Bull is the URC, a small but nice church to go into, not as decorated as St John's nearby, but still serves it's purpose.
The Market Squares - On Market Day, you know this is the place to go where all the farmers, traders and others go to sell their produce.
Shops - Yes...go in there.....and buy some of the best Somerset Produce!!
One box house you can go into! Have some fun in this West Country Market Town!!
Sorry Rail Fans, but the town has not had a station since 1966, as it was part of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway.....
