Hackthorne Farm is located within the Blackmore Vale, on the Somerset Dorset border in an easily accessible position, south of the A30. The thriving village of Henstridge lies to the west of the farm and benefits from the popular Virginia Ash Pub, a primary school, church, village shop and Post Office.
