I like Bruton, with its still medieval character thus far surviving the onslaught of metropolitanisation and its long, one way high street with old shops, occasional Georgian houses and a museum that is so seldom open that I have never visited. There are small passageways which lead down steeply to the River Brue:-

Bruton is indeed delightful. Another example of towns, like Odiham, with a very wide street (to accommodate a Market?).
Odiham is like Farnham and Marlborough with a great wide high street, but Bruton is actually long and quite narrow. Not sure the medieval antecedents for street formation. Charles
