St Barnabas Church dates from the 14th century and is at the heart of the community in Queen Camel, a village in south Somerset equidistant from the towns of Yeovil and Sherborne to the south.

Great to get off of the main roads but watch out for pot holes and rough road surfaces. This road certainly needs resurfacing/fixing in places.

The Anglican Church was built in the 13th century. It is a grade || listed building

Some homemade goodies

If you have time, try to walk around the Hill Fort! Cadbury Castle is a Bronze and Iron Age hillfort associated with King Arthur's legendary court at Camelot. The site was reused by the Roman forces and again from c. 470 until some time after 580. In the c11th century, it temporarily housed a Saxon mint. Evidence of various buildings at the site has been unearthed, including a "Great Hall", round and rectangular house foundations, metalworking, and a possible sequence of small rectangular temples or shrines

what a lovely look little town Castle Cary is.

In the parish of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset | c13th, Grade 1. Interior includes Jacobean furnishings. Box pews and pulpit with a tester from the c17th Although lacking a tower, it has a rare ‘lantern’ bellcote, likely added in the late 15th or early c16th One of only 6 churches in England dedicated to this Spanish Saint The recent dating of the treble bell (1290) makes it quite a remarkable piece quite possibly one of the oldest still hanging in England.

The Church of St. Vincent, a petite structure with origins dating back to 1189-1280, displays charming Hamstone accents and is crowned by a clay tile roof. Its walls are constructed from lias rubble. Remarkably, the church doesn't possess a tower; rather, it boasts an uncommon 'lantern' bellcote, thought to have been appended in the late 15th or early 16th century. In 1878, the church underwent a restoration process.

Great views from Stonehill lane near Sutton Montis. The road tops out at 103m above sea level between Cadbury Castle to the north and Parrock hill to the south. Great views up towards the old hill fort. Both hills can be climbed on foot for even better views but they aren't road bike friendly.

After a low-flying helicopter, I kept staring upwards at all the planes buzzing around. The highlight, for me, was seeing a Hawk come in to land and power down.

Nice place to visit on a nice day

St Vincent's is a pretty parish church that dates to the 13th century. The Grade I-listed building retains some original architectural features, as well as many additions from the 14th and 15th centuries. The interior includes box pews, pulpit and an octagonal font from the 1600s.

Really tiny historic chapel that has been converted into a small cafe. Independently run by a really friendly, community minded woman named Rose. Incredibly cheap prices and really lovely home made cake. The cafe is really secluded although there isn't anywhere obviously secure to leave a bike. Take a mini lock for peace of mind if you do cycle over. At time of writting opening times are Wednesday to Saturday 11am-4pm.
