Barrington is a peaceful village tucked into the rolling Somerset countryside, yet remarkably well-positioned for exploration. Just steps from the cottage, The Barrington Boar serves excellent local ales and hearty pub classics—a welcoming spot for a relaxed lunch or evening meal without needing the car.

A short stroll takes you to Barrington Court, a stunning National Trust property with Tudor manor house, restored 1920s garden rooms, and an apple orchard perfect for gentle afternoon wanderings.

The market town of Ilminster lies only two miles away, offering independent shops, cafés, and a weekly farmers’ market showcasing Somerset’s finest produce. For grander adventures, the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach—dramatic cliffs, fossil hunting at Lyme Regis, and the picturesque harbour town of West Bay await.

Walking enthusiasts will find miles of footpaths threading through patchwork farmland and quiet lanes. The Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty sits nearby, with sweeping views and hidden valleys to discover.

Historic Montacute House and the charming town of Chard are both under fifteen minutes’ drive. Ham Hill country Park, and the Somerset levels for nature lovers are also a short drive, while cider lovers can tour local producers dotted throughout the region.

From countryside tranquillity to coastal drama, this corner of Somerset delivers.
