Neighbourhood highlights

Pitcombe Barn was originally a part of the Hadspen Estate, now The Newt in Somerset, and there is a beautiful 20 minute walk to it across fields and footpaths directly from the house.

Here, you can visit restaurants, cafes, and museums; then proceed to the stunning gardens that have been the focus of much media coverage, as well as the woodland trails and aerial walkway, suspended on wires through the treetops.

The Newt Farmshop is the closest shop by foot, and it is heavenly to walk over for morning coffee or lunch.

Our local town, five minutes away, is Bruton, now one of the most sought after and fashionable rural destinations in Britain.

Aside from boasting the renowned At the Chapel restaurant and bakery, it has a new High Street restaurant, Osip, with the Michelin-star-winning chef Merlin Labron-Johnson.

There are fabulous gastro pubs close by, the outstanding Roth Bar and Grill (part of Hauser & Wirth arts centre and contemporary gallery, all in a developed ancient farm on the outskirts of the town).

Bruton’s High Street also contains a growing number of fascinating shops, boutiques and services, making it a genuine hub at the same time as a destination for interesting visitors.

Babington House (Part of the Soho House group) is a twenty-minute drive away.

The Mill on the Brue outdoor activity centre, in the heart of Bruton, offers a range of fun, healthy and wholesome pursuits for children.

The Stourhead estate, with its world famous gardens, eighteenth century temples and vast woodland, is 15 minutes away.

Alfred’s Tower, its magnificent hilltop folly, clearly visible from Pitcombe Barn, dominates the estate, where the forest walking trails are endless.
