The village of Ansford is situated in an attractive rural setting with far reaching views, with a network of public rights of way footpaths linking neighbouring parishes. Although there are no commercial shops or pubs, there is a thriving Community Hall for social, entertainment and business events, plus indoor sporting facilities. More amenities are available in the adjoining town of Castle Cary, with its distinctive local shops, a weekly market, community library run by volunteers, post office and mobile bank (once a week). The town also has two free car parks that are supported by Ansford Parish Council. Both Councils have created a joint neighbourhood plan for the area and jointly own and manage Fairfield – a large green open space area with a number of recreational facilities.
