around us
barrington court
The village is home to the stunning National Trust property, Barrington Court. This Tudor mansion was beautifully restored in the 1920s by Colonel Lyle and celebrated for its Gertrude Jekyll-inspired walled gardens, parkland walks, and working orchards. Featured in the BBC’s Wolf Hall, the estate also hosts Arts and Crafts workshops, including Barrington Pottery. Read more about it in The Times’ recent guide to the UK’s best gardens and stays.
St Mary’s Church
The Barrington Boar is directly opposite the 13th century St Mary's Church with its unusual octagonal tower which has now been designated by the English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.
Somerset Cider Brandy & Burrow Hill
The Temperley family’s farm in Somerset sits among 180 acres of cider apple orchards at the base of Burrow Hill. The farm has been pressing cider for over 200 years & in 1989 was granted the UK’s first ever full cider-distilling license. They have been distilling award winning cider into Somerset Cider Brandy ever since.
Guided tours and tastings can be arranged (email orders@somersetciderbrandy.com or call 01460 240782 with suggested dates) & last approximately an hour, taking guests through the whole cider making process from harvest to bottling. Depending on the season guests may see them harvesting, making cider or distilling the brandy. The tour & tasting fee is £10 per person.
There is also a 30 minute orchard trail, where in May walkers can see the trees in blossom & in the autumn they are laden with apples.
