Springfield Studio sits in 20 acres of its own land and looks out from the top of the Mendip Hills for some 40 miles - across past Bristol, Bath and on to Wales and Wiltshire. In the foreground one of the largest freshwater lakes in the South West gives the studio arguably one of the finest views in Somerset. Unusually for a studio, it's large glass windows give full access to this breathtaking scenery.
The studio is a detached period building on the Springfield Farm estate that has been converted specifically for use as a recording facility with particular attention to the acoustics.
There is excellent access and parking right outside the door from which walks across the area of outstanding natural beauty extend in every direction. Bath and Bristol are only 25 minutes away by car and Bristol airport is just 13 miles - or about 20 minutes by taxi.
Excellent accommodation is also available - please visit www.springfield-farm.com or follow the link on the Directions page.

Glastonbury, with it's world-famous Tor and festival is just 20 minutes away by car. The view from the top of the Tor is superb - showing Somerset from the other side of the Mendips from Springfield. The old ruined Abbey is also an exceptional place to visit - sacked during the aboliton of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, it still retains an incredible sense of power and mystery.
