The rich history of Orchardleigh dates back to the Doomsday Book, and is one of the most unspoilt English
Country Estates. Orchardleigh’s indefinable English charm is testimony to the estate changing family
ownership only twice in 800 years Veiled in a tranquil bowl of parklands and lakes its horizon a sweeping
backdrop of rolling hills, the Poet Laureate Sir Henry Newbolt was inspired to write his finest works from
his love of Orchardleigh.
Orchardleigh lends itself as either a peaceful retreat with Golf, fishing or painting and numerous walks,
or an ideal centre for an active family holiday. The many nearby attractions include the Roman Spa City
of Bath (10 miles), the Cathedral city of Wells, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Glastonbury Tor, Museum
and Abbey, Clarke’s shopping village at Street, Stourhead House and Gardens, all approximately 30
minutes drive. Stonehenge, Salisbury, Weston-Super-Mare, the Bristol Channel coast and the South Coast
are all within an easy travelling distance. Close by is the impressive Longleat Estate and world famous
Safari Park.
