Travelling to Halsway Manor

The best route to Halsway from the North and the South-West is via the M5 to junction 25 east of Taunton. From the South and South-East the A303 and the A358 may be more appropriate - this route crosses the M5 at junction 25.

From junction 25 follow the A358 signs through Taunton towards Minehead. On the northwest outskirts of Taunton the route turns north at a roundabout adjacent to the Cross Keys Pub on the right. Halsway is approximately 10 miles from this roundabout, shortly after the 2nd turning to Crowcombe. The Manor is reached by turning right at a staggered crossroads, signposted just before the brow of the hill, and continue a short distance along the narrow country lane.

They play for Saturday night dances throughout the country.

Halsway Manor

This delightful, mainly Tudor manor house, nestles in the western folds of the Quantock Hills with magnificent views across Exmoor. In 1086 Halsway was recorded in the Domesday Book as a farmstead and since then has accumulated history and a wealth of atmosphere. In 1965 the manor was purchased by members of the English Folk Dance and Song Society and Halsway Manor was born. Since then it has been the country's only residential folk music centre providing accommodation for up to 62 people. Accommodation is in single, double and family rooms, many with en-suite facilities.

As you enter the barrel-vaulted hall with its welcoming log fire, you will immediately recognise that Halsway is an ideal venue for a break at any time of the year. Individual residents, couples, or crowds are always welcome, but do book early to avoid disappointment. The Somerset countryside around provides unique opportunities for walking, fossil hunting on the legendary beaches of East Quantoxhead, and riding etc. The area has also attracted potters, painters, and every other kind of craft person, to set up business over the years. All these and many other interests such as historical churches and family history, complement the wide variety of courses, including folk dance, song and music of every kind, which could be included in your stay at Halsway. The manor also offers ideal accommodation for weddings and business courses in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Halsway Manor Society is a registered Charity No: 247230 and a company limited by Guarantee No: 849615 Chairman: Mr C.R. Little
