Location

It’s not easy to move to Winscombe – there are never enough homes to keep up with the number of people who’d love to live there.  And it’s not easy to leave, thanks to the magnetic pull of this ancient village community.

Set where the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty slopes down towards the sandy coast, Winscombe is blessed on all fronts.

People there really know how to enjoy themselves.  The Scarecrow Extravaganza, a wine festival, the Michaelmas Fair and the May Fair on the Millennium Green, the large play area, skate park and recreation ground, the cricket, football and rugby clubs all attest to that.  The network of country walks, including one taking in the former Strawberry Line railway route, is popular with energetic locals and visitors alike.

If you can drag yourself away from all that activity, Winscombe is 10 miles from Bristol Airport and under 20 miles from the city – both along the A38.  You can join the M5 at junction 21, and the mainline rail network at Weston-super-Mare, Backwell, Yatton and Worle.

With a primary school, doctors surgery, an excellent choice of shops and even it’s own library, it’s no wonder that Winscombe is so popular.
