A small and ancient market
town, Axbridge sits on the banks of the River
Axe close to Wells and the Cheddar Gorge in
the Mendip Hills. Once the centre of a local
woolen industry, it was used as a base for
deer hunting by both Saxon and Norman kings.
King John's Hunting Lodge, a former merchant’s
house, is now a museum. Its exhibits include
stocks, a bull-baiting anchor and a Roman
skeleton. |
