In the centre of the town is a wide market square with its octagonal roofed market cross, surrounded by charming period houses. This attractive small town has an excellent range of facilities, including a variety of services such as a small supermarket, dentist, chemist, library, butchers, newsagents, galleries, doctors' surgery and schools, with the larger commercial centre of Yeovil within an easy drive, as is the pretty Abbey town of Sherborne.
