About the location

GURNEY SLADE AND BINEGAR

Shepton Mallet 4 miles.

The twin Somerset villages of Gurney Slade and Binegar can be found just four miles north of Shepton Mallet nestling on the eastern edge of the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Well served by local inns and a well-stocked village shop and Post Office, the area also abounds in lovely walks which criss-cross the lush countryside. The nearby historic town of Shepton Mallet is a delightful mixture of old and new, with some wonderful old architecture and a weekly market, plus a variety of shops, pubs and eateries. This is a beautiful landscape, with unique places to visit and activities to suit everyone. The Royal Bath and West Showground, just south of Shepton Mallet is the site of one of Britain's major agricultural shows, held here annually in May/June, whilst many other events are staged regularly throughout the year. The area offers a superb touring base with an easy drive to Wells, Glastonbury and Bath, and many family attractions including Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves and East Somerset Railway are all also within a 45-minute drive. Then, after your day out exploring this lovely part of Somerset, why not treat yourselves to a glass of the scrumptious local cider! You'd be hard-pressed to find a better holiday base.
