About High Ham

Just as it's name implies, High Ham sits in a lofty upland position, overlooking the levels amid wooded countryside. It is a serene and tranquil place that shows interesting creamy stone houses and pleasant cottages. It has an ancient church of which the exterior is enhanced with gargoyles. The church dates from the 14th-century and has a splendid interior with some fascinating treasures.
