South Petherton is a large Somerset village that lies just off the A303, sitting among rolling farmland between Yeovil and Ilminster. South Petherton is home to around 3,500 people, it has Saxon roots and appears in the Domesday Book, with agriculture, cloth making and local trades shaping its growth through the centuries. The handsome Church of St Peter and St Paul, old stone cottages and winding streets give the centre oodles of character without making the place feel like it's stuck in the past.

The A303 makes road travel towards Yeovil, Taunton and further afield pretty straightforward, whilst buses serve surrounding communities; Crewkerne and Yeovil provide useful railway connections. South Petherton has some independent shops, pubs, cafés, schools, a library, medical facilities and sports clubs, so the everyday basics are well covered. Ham Hill Country Park is nearby, along with historic Montacute. National Trust properties within easy reach include Montacute House, Barrington Court and Tintinhull Garden, while English Heritage's Muchelney Abbey is particularly handy, with Sherborne Old Castle offering another worthwhile historical trip.
