The Square in the heart of Wiveliscombe is home to some absolutely fantastic buildings. With several Grade Listed structures and some dating back to the 17th century, it makes for a beautiful town centre. The most magnificent building has exquisitely carved wooden panels featuring Norwegian-style characters.

Deepleigh and Sandy Lanes are earthen byways that cross the hill immediately north of Wiveliscombe in Somerset. From their junction, you can admire the rolling pastures on every side, often dotted with sheep. Peaceful and quintessentially Somerset, this pretty crossroads is used by the West Deane Way long-distance circular trail.

Brompton Ralph's church was likely built in the early 15th century although much of what you see today originates in the 18th. The church bell and the south tower arch both date back to the 1400s while the south aisle window is 16th century. Like many rural village churches, exploring St. Mary's in Brompton Ralph is a little like walking back in time.

The brewery in Wiveliscombe was built in 1807 and expanded over time to become one of the largest in the west of England. Many of the buildings you can see today were built at the end of the 19th century but the buildings fell into disuse in the mid 20th century. You can spot the tower for miles around and walk around the exterior of the buildings, admiring their flaking paint and tall windows. Wiveliscombe's original brewery building might be out of use but the town still has four separate breweries. Quite an impressive amount given its rural location.
