Neighbourhood information
The South Somerset parish of Cricket St. Thomas, which borders West Dorset and is a short distance from East Devon, is in a prime location to explore these three stunning West Country counties. You may visit Cricket House, the original location for the Penelope Keith-starring television series "To the Manor Born," by taking a tour through the Cricket St. Thomas estate. Cricket House is now a component of the Warner Cricket St. Thomas Hotel. The Fleet Air Arm Museum, which is located 7 miles north of Yeovil and is one of the largest aviation museums in the world with many historic aircraft on display, is a little further away but still within easy driving distance, and the prestigious Haynes International Motor Museum at Sparkford offers an excellent day out for everyone with a vast collection of veteran, vintage, and classic cars and bikes offering a fascinating window into motoring history.
