Hello, I'm Ruth, and I've been a lifelong resident of Shepton Mallet. I share my home with my partner, Dean, and we have three grown-up children as well as a beloved dog named Roxy. In my leisure time, I thoroughly enjoy taking long walks in the beautiful countryside surrounding Shepton Mallet. The Mendip Hills and the nearby areas offer a plethora of picturesque trails, and to make your exploration easier, I've thoughtfully included an Ordnance Survey map in the apartment, featuring all the delightful walks in this region for you to discover. Furthermore, I'm passionate about both yoga and Tai Chi and have the pleasure of teaching both practices within our local community throughout the week.
