Guidebook for Curry Rivel
Food Scene
The building is a restored massive old barn, by the river in Langport. It's just stunning! A great place to go in the rain (spacious!), or in the sun (walk there on the back lanes and sit in the sun by the river as you sip tea and enjoy a snack or a meal). Run by really a dedicated team.

There's a gift shop with lovely bottles of the many types of cider and cider brandy. It's a 15 minute drive away.

Arts & Culture
It's a stunning National Trust property - but it's the gardens that are really magnificent. It's about an hour's drive away, but really worth the effort. Can keep you occupied for a few hours. You can take a picnic or it has a good bar and food too.

Shopping
A very attractive and slightly posh outlet shopping mall. Well worth a visit. There's also the Clarks museum too (free entry). Lovely architecture in this village (Street), and it's only a 5 minute drive to whacky Glastonbury town too!
