Compton Bishop is a small Somerset hamlet overlooked by Crook Peak on the Mendips boasting views across to Kings Sedgmoor. It is close to the popular town of Axbridge which is packed with 'old world' charm, its medieval beginnings being still evident in some of its oldest buildings.
An important wool-producer in the Middle Ages, the town has always been at the centre of things, indeed it was a river port in earlier times. This was reflected in its early royal charters allowing it to hold markets, fairs and become a royal borough. It even had its own mint, with coins showing the town's symbol: the Lamb and Flag.
There is far less through traffic nowadays, but the layout of the town has changed little over the centuries, a medieval town expanding on a fortified Saxon burgh.
Axbridge is well served for local facilities include post office, general stores, primary ( and middle ( schools (Fairlands being situated at Cheddar) and a number of restaurants.
