Description
The Globe Inn lies in the heart of the large village of Cannington which has a population of around 2,300. The village is bypassed by the A39; eastbound will lead you to the nearby town of Bridgwater and the M5 motorway, westbound will take you towards the West Somerset and North Devon coastlines and is consequently a popular tourist route that leads to Exmoor National Park.
Cannington is home to a large agricultural college which was established in 1921 and has links to Brynmore Academy. Also located in the village is a dairy owned by Yeo Valley Organic.
Bridgwater is approximately 3 miles southeast of the village and Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Station is approximately 5 miles northwest. Hinkley Point is one of Europe's largest construction sites and employs approximately 25,000 workers. It is expected to provide power to 6 million homes for the next 60 years.
This end terrace, two storey property is of brick construction under a pitched tile roof. The pub occupies a plot of approximately 0.21 of an acre which includes the outside trading space.
