Castle Cary is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, set in beautiful unspoiled 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. These shops cater to most everyday needs whilst Shaftesbury, Glastonbury, Street, Wells, Frome, Wincanton, Sherborne, and Yeovil are all close by and Salisbury, Taunton, Bath, and Bristol are within easy driving distance.

The “The Newt in Somerset” just outside Castle Cary is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate, there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants, and house & garden shop. On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington and the A303 Road link is a few miles south. There are excellent state schools in the area - Ansford Academy boasts excellent exam grades and independent schools include the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove and Port Regis.

Churchfield Drive is a residential area in central Castle Cary just a short walk away from Ansford School, the playing fields and parkland walks making it very popular with local families. The High Street is equally accessible on foot with a path nearby leaving directly onto Bailey Hill.
