For Walkers - Whether you fancy a gentle amble or an energetic hike there are three footpaths to choose from which lead from the Cottage to Ham Hill Country Park, historic Montacute House and the Chinnocks. They also link with the Leland Trail as well as the Monarch’s Way, Liberty, and River Parrett Trails.  Just think how lovely it will feel to return to Bagnell Cottage after your exertions for a sit down and a lovely cup of tea!

For fossil hunters and those who do like to be beside the seaside - The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is just 45 minutes away and includes the charming resorts of Lyme Regis and Weymouth.

For those who want to take it really easy - Get up for breakfast, settle yourself down by the pond or on the patio with a good book or the paper and listen to the noises of nature all about you, only looking up occasionally to find out what that rustling is!  Later have a snooze before heading not very far away to find something delicious to eat. 

For sporting types - Golf and fishing facilities are within a short distance of the property.  Hot air balloon trips are also available locally.

For connoisseurs of good food and drink - Sample local produce at one of the many excellent pubs and restaurants a short drive away.  Where better to try some real Somerset cider than at a Cider Museum or at one of several local farm shops?  Your visit might even coincide with a local Farmers Market.

For culture vultures - There are many famous and beautiful gardens to visit together with National Trust properties.  There are two lovely second-hand bookshops and an antiques market area at nearby Crewkerne.  There are cinemas in Lyme Regis and Yeovil and for theatre you could visit Taunton, Yeovil or Lyme Regis - all close by.

Other places of interest - Other places of interest include the reputed site of Camelot at South Cadbury and the famed Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton as well as the Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford.
