Axbridge is situated close to the A38 on the banks of the River Axe, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. It is a parish, a market town and a municipal borough located in the Hundred of Winterstoke, 13 miles South West of Bristol. From the ridge above the town there are fine views of South Wales across the Bristol Channel and, in the other direction, beautiful countryside stretching to the Quantocks and Bridgewater Bay.
The origins of settlement in the area almost certainly go back as far as Stone Age man, whose tools have been found in the nearby hills. There is also evidence of Roman settlements. In the days of King Alfred, Axbridge was part of the Saxons defence system for holding Wessex against the Vikings. The town was granted a Royal Charter in 1202 by King John and grew prosperous in the Tudor period through the cloth trade. Later the town declined in importance but many historic buildings are preserved in the town centre. These include King John's Hunting Lodge (actually a Tudor building), now a museum. Axbridge sent members to parliament in the reigns of Edward I and Edward III. Visitors today can stay at the nearby 18th century farmhouse Bow Farm.
