A Walk from the Church up the hill above Castle Cary on our way back from Stourhead

Hi

​

The plan was to have a  check on this pretty little town which is the first stop by rail, on the Paddington line from Taunton. It has a hill  with far reaching views and it is on the Monarch's Way which is a long distance trail which Jane and I completed in 2014.

 

The guidebook says

The town is noted for its high quality shops - grocers, outfitters, ironmongers, books, antiques and local produce. There are several inns in the town, wonderful restaurants and tearooms making it perfect destination for a relaxing country break.
