Welcome to Midford

Midford is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles south of Bath and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Midford Castle, which was built in the 18th century. The castle is now a private residence, but its impressive architecture can still be admired from the outside.

One of the main attractions in Midford is the Two Tunnels Greenway, a popular walking and cycling route that runs through the village. The greenway is a former railway line that has been converted into a traffic-free path, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The route passes through two impressive tunnels, including the Combe Down Tunnel, which is the longest cycling and walking tunnel in the UK. The greenway is a great way to explore the area and is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Midford is also home to a number of local businesses, including a pub, a café, and a farm shop. The Hope and Anchor pub is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a range of real ales and delicious pub food. The Wheelwrights Arms café is another great place to stop for a bite to eat, serving homemade cakes and light lunches. The farm shop, located on the outskirts of the village, sells a range of locally sourced produce, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products.
