Axbridge is a small historic town that is situated on the edge of the Mendip Hills, a couple of miles from Cheddar and overlooking the Somerset Levels. Home to roughly 2,000 people, Axbridge has Saxon roots and later became a prosperous medieval market town, with wool, agriculture and local trade all helping to pay the bills. The wonderfully preserved medieval square, narrow streets, and Church of St John the Baptist give the centre oodles of character. Along with many other places, Axbridge lost its railway station in the 1960s, therefore buses and the nearby A371 provide the main connections towards Cheddar, Wells and Weston-super-Mare, with the M5 also within easy reach. There are independent shops, pubs, cafés, community facilities and a museum in Axbridge, while the Strawberry Line provides a cracking traffic-free walking and cycling route. Cheddar Gorge, Cheddar Reservoir and the Mendips are practically on the doorstep. The National Trust's King John's Hunting Lodge stands right in the town, with Tyntesfield and Clevedon Court within travelling distance, while English Heritage's Meare Fish House makes an interesting trip across the Levels.
