Box is a lovely village to live in. It has a couple of decent pubs, a great Indian restaurant (BYO), a butchers, post office and general store.

All in all - v nice!

Sightseeing
Bath is a special place to visit, just a 20min drive, or bus ride from Box.
It's a lovely city to stroll and look around with plenty of historic attractions. Along with the historical bits it's also a great place for shopping, eating and entertainment. Can get very busy in the high season and a bugger to park. A bus in and out is a better option.

One of the best adventure playgrounds I've ever seen. Unfortunately the kids enjoyed themselves too much and got in my way. Think a 30yrs+ policy would be an improvement.

A local village, very pretty. It's old and has been used as the setting for many a period drama. The approach roads can also be a bit of a drama - quite narrow and busy in the summer.

Another lovely, small village often used as a film set. You can spend your money on all sorts of Harry Potter nonsense here.
