Crewkerne
A heritage-dense market town in south Somerset, Crewkerne has a compact central core with cafés and restaurants and a concentration of listed historic buildings, anchored by the 15th-century Church of St Bartholomew. The town's wealth was built on the textile trade — cloth, webbing, and sails for the Royal Navy — and its history stretches back to a mention in Alfred the Great's will of 899. It sits on the West of England railway line, making it accessible from the wider region.
