Situation

Buckland St Mary is a rural parish on the Blackdown Hills, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now known as a National Landscape) on the border of Somerset and Devon. It’s very much your quintessential countryside setting with rolling hills and pastoral scenes around every corner, and yet is still only a short drive from excellent road links via the A30 / A303 connecting to the A358 and M5. Buckland St Mary village benefits from facilities including a primary school, pretty Church and community hall. The neighbouring villages of Combe St Nicholas and Bishopswood have a wider range of facilities including local pubs and many community-based activities.

The pretty market town of Ilminster lies about 6 miles to the east, and has a wonderful range of local facilities including award winning Butchers, Deli, independent retailers, cafes and restaurants. The County Town of Taunton is just 8 miles to the North with excellent retail, commercial and educational opportunities. There are main line railway stations at both Crewkerne (Waterloo) and Taunton (Paddington). For those wanting to nip to the coast the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline is just 18 miles to the south at Lyme Regis and accessible within 30-40 minutes’ drive.
