About Gurney Slade

Gurney Slade perches on the Somerset plateau between Bath and Wells, serving as a handy waypoint for motorists crossing the Mendip Hills via the A37. Most visitors make short hops from Bath (15km) or Wells (12km), though it's also a convenient rest stop for longer journeys between Bristol Airport and points south. The village sits in classic Somerset limestone country, where stone walls and rolling hills stretch toward distant views of Glastonbury Tor. Its most striking feature is a magnificent seven-arch railway viaduct that once carried the old Somerset and Dorset line across the valley.
