Lower Westholme is a small hamlet between the popular and active villages of Pilton and North Wootton  and convenient for both Glastonbury and Wells.

Glastonbury's past and present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre throughout history and further back into the times of legends. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and by the 18th century had received a charter and had become a manufacturing and trading centre. Today it’s a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000) .Its centre is the market place (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. Immediately to the south (2 miles) of Glastonbury is the more recent town of Street and these centres provide a huge range of facilities and amenities.  About 4 miles east is Shepton Mallet, an historic market town again with a wide range of facilities. There are excellent local schools in the area and the private sector includes Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows and the Bruton schools. About 12 miles south east is Castle Cary station with a main rail line to London.
