Its present name relates to the brick well at the heart of the village. Dominated by Nynehead Court, the village is in the centre of the vale of Taunton Deane. The village has been extended during the past century and at its western edge on a small hillock stands the church of St. Mary whose tower, beautifully illuminated at night, is a landmark for miles around. Bradford on Tone is an attractive village perched on a ridge above the River Tone. The village complete with shop and the White Horse Inn, retains much of its rural character with thatched cottages.

Distances by road will be longer. Almost 200 years ago, Coldharbour Mill started work spinning wool and worsted yarn. Sited in a Devon valley, the biggest change the old mill saw in two centuries was the arrival of steam power in 1865. Few buildings evoke such an immediate feeling of history as Tiverton Castle. Now some 900 years old, it was enlarged and rebuilt during the 14th Century.
