Stonewater Homes will be holding an informal drop-in session on Wednesday 30th September in the village hall.
Welcome to Ashwick
Ashwick is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Somerset
Ashwick lies at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills. It is set in rolling countryside, in the area between Shepton Mallet, Wells and Frome, with Bath being about 15 miles to the north-east. For those who do not know the area Oakhill will probably be a better known name (and easier to find on the map!): Oakhill village is within the Parish of Ashwick. There are also a number of other small settlements in the Parish, including the hamlet of Neighbourne, a cluster of dwellings near Ashwick Church, plus parts of Nettlebridge, Benter and Gurney Slade.
