About the area 

Properties rarely come onto the market in West Compton and as it’s not a shortcut to anywhere very few people actually know where the village is. It’s in a hidden valley in beautiful countryside between Wells, Pilton, Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury. The major towns of the area being Bristol, Bath, Taunton and Yeovil are all within commuting distance whilst Castle Cary is the nearest train station with fast links to London. 

Wells is the smallest city in England (population about 11,000) between the Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty It has local markets twice a week and many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. 

Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre since the times of legends. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is a thriving town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. 

Shepton Mallet is another historic town lying to the north east. 

All three offer a wide range of facilities, societies and activities. There are excellent State & Private schools in the area including Millfield, Wells Cathedral, All Hallows, Downside and the Bruton schools.
