About the Area Babcary is one of Somerset’s charming and historic villages set in beautiful countryside between Somerton, Glastonbury and Castle Cary. Recorded in the Domesday Book, it’s an attractive small village bordering of the Sparkford Vale. The medieval church is close by where one of the earliest games of ‘fives’ was recorded. Elsewhere in the village is the Red Lion, an excellent pub and restaurant dating from the 17th century, and the well used Village Hall and playing fields. All these factors contribute to the friendly and active village community. Glastonbury, Wells, Castle Cary and Sherborne are all within a short drive as are Castle Cary and Yeovil Rail Stations with main lines to London. There are many golf courses in the area with National Hunt racing at Wincanton and Taunton and flat racing at Bath. There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including Millfield, Bruton, Hazelgrove, Wells Cathedral, Downside and Sherborne. Babcary is a sought after village being very accessible but well away from the main road and with virtually no through traffic.
