Castle Cary is a charming market town situated in the South Somerset district of Somerset, England. The town is renowned for its historic architecture, featuring buildings made from the distinctive, honey-coloured Cary stone. A notable building is the Market House, an elegant 19th-century structure that still hosts a weekly market. The town's rich history can be explored at the Castle Cary Museum, which offers insight into local heritage and culture.
The town itself is often praised for its community spirit, featuring independent shops, galleries, and cafes that give the area a unique appeal. The locality is also famed for its proximity to the Hadspen estate, known for its beautiful gardens and stately home, which has been transformed into The Newt in Somerset - a luxurious hotel and spa with stunning gardens that are open to the public.
Nearby towns and villages each have their own charm. To the west, you'll find the town of Somerton, which was once the ancient capital of Wessex. North of Castle Cary is the town of Shepton Mallet, known for its cider production and historical architecture. Bruton, another neighbour, is a small town with a bustling art scene, most notably the Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a leading arts centre. Further east, the historic town of Sherborne, just across the border in Dorset, is renowned for its Abbey, castles, and independent schools. The surrounding South Somerset countryside also offers opportunities for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting, adding to the appeal of a visit to the Castle Cary area.
