About the area
The semi-rural village of Galhampton offers a thriving and friendly community, an active village hall, a parish church and a popular pub. There is a wide network of footpaths on the doorstep, as well as horse riding and other outdoor pursuits. The vibrant market towns of Castle Cary and Bruton are nearby. Castle Cary is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, set in beautiful unspoilt countryside. The town is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.
