Welcome To South Cadbury
South Cadbury Village is situated in South Somerset, just off the A303 near the villages of North Cadbury of Sutton Montis and the market towns of Castle Cary and Wincanton and is famous as the location of the historic Hill Fort of Cadbury Castle thought by many to be the site of King Arthur’s Camelot.
The village is easily accessed from the A303 and at its heart is the Village Hall and playing fields which have multiple uses such as weddings, birthdays, funeral wakes, lessons, meetings and village events such as the annual village Fete. The parish church St Thomas a Becket dates from the 13th century but was restored in 1874 but still boasts a 15th century roof.
Close to the church is the Camelot Pub open 7 days a week and a great pit stop for walkers, cyclists, those travelling on the A303 and of course locals. Great pub food without gastro pub prices. You will also find the farm shop, Teals at the South Cadbury junction of the A303 where you can walk your dog, stock up on local produce, grab a coffee or stay for a meal. Alternatively stop at the Chapel Tea rooms for delicious refreshments and an opportunity to pet the goats. A short distance away in North Cadbury is the village shop if you need day to day items or some dry cleaning sent off.
Cadbury Castle is a vast Iron Age and can be accessed from both South Cadbury and Sutton Montis. Car parking is available at Castle Farm a few yards on from Castle Lane which offers direct access to the Castle. The castle is also part of a working farm so you can expect livestock to be grazing on the top or in the woods and fields around it. From the top you can see Alfred’s Tower, Glastonbury Tor and Yeovilton airbase. Excavations in the 1960s revealed artifacts from human occupation and use from the Neolithic through the Bronze and Iron Ages. The site was used by Roman forces and temporarily housed a Saxon mint
The village is a short drive away from Haynes Motor Museum, Yeovilton Air Museum, The Newt, Hauser & Wirth, Stourhead and North Cadbury Court
