Polsham is an attractive hamlet, rurally situated although conveniently accessed from the A39. The village is equidistant from both the Cathedral City of Wells and the unique market town of Glastonbury, with each around 3.5 miles away. There are many public footpaths within the vicinity making it ideal dog walking country and several public houses also within easy reach, in particular The Sheppey Inn at nearby Godney, which has an excellent reputation. Polsham is also convenient for a range of schooling options, including The Blue School (state secondary), Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. England’s smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose. Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. In addition, there is a large bus/coach station providing links to other parts of the West Country. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington (approx. 1 hour 40 mins).
